Q998

Glycolysis is

A.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⟶ 6CO2 + 6H2O
B.
C6H12O6 ⟶ 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
C.
C6H12O6 ⟶ 2C3H4O3 + 4H
Answer
D.
C3H4O3 + NADH ⟶ C2H5OH + CO2 + NAD+

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Glycolysis is C6H12O6 ⟶ 2C3H4O3 + 4H.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).
Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that does not require oxygen. Glycolysis is a sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes.
