Problem 2:Products of Glycolysis

At the end of glycolysis, each molecule of glucose has yielded 2 molecules of _______, 2 molecules of ________, and a net of 2 molecules of _________.

A. FAD; NAD⁺; ADP
B. CO₂; NAD⁺; ADP
C. lactic acid; ethanol; CO₂
D. pyruvate; NADH; ATP

Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate, yielding a net 2 ATP and 2 NADH. Recall that 2 ATP were needed to initiate glycolysis and 4 ATP were produced in the pathway, for a net gain of 2 ATP.

E. H₂O; CO₂; ATP
