B
Pyruvate
C
Acetyl-CoA
D
Carbon dioxide
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy and producing ATP and NADH in the process.
Identify the main products of glycolysis: two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, and two molecules of NADH.
Recognize that NADP+ is not involved in glycolysis; it is typically associated with photosynthesis and other anabolic reactions.
Note that Acetyl-CoA is produced from pyruvate during the transition step before entering the citric acid cycle, not directly from glycolysis.
Understand that carbon dioxide is a product of the citric acid cycle and not glycolysis, as glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not involve the release of carbon dioxide.
