Question

What energy-carrying molecules are created during glycolysis?

Answer 1

The correct answer would be

C

Answer 2

The right answer is C) NADH and ATP.

The glycolysis or Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway is a metabolic pathway of glucose assimilation and energy production. It takes place in the hyaloplasm (or cytosol) of the cell. As the name implies, it requires glucose and produces pyruvate. The latter can either enter the Krebs cycle, which takes place in the mitochondria of eukaryotes or the cytoplasm of aerobic bacteria, or be metabolized by fermentation to anaerobiosis, to produce, for example, lactate or ethanol.

The reaction is as follows:

Glucose + 2 Pi + 2 ADP + 2 NAD + → 2 ATP + 2 H2O + 2 (NADH + H +) + 2 pyruvate.
