What is the net production of atp, pyruvate, and nadh when one molecule of glucose undergoes glycolysis?
a. 2 atp, 2 nadh, and 2 pyruvate
b. 4 atp, 1 nadh, 2 pyruvate
c. 4 atp, 2 nadh, and 4 pyruvate
d. 2 atp, 1 nadh, and 1 pyruvate

In glycolysis, the amount of ATP that is produced is – 2 ATP, 2 Pyruvates and 2 NADH.

Explanation:

The primary stage of glucose break down is Glycolysis that absorbs energy for metabolism of cells.  Almost all living beings undergo glycolysis to produce energy.  In this process energy as ATP is produced.

It occurs in two steps where the six glucose carbon rings are split in two bonds of three carbon sugars by reactions of enzymes. However, the second phase completes pyruvates conversion and forms NADH and ATP. It produces 2 ATP molecules, 2 pyruvates and 2 NADH in this process.

b.have there own function.

the correct answer is d
