Marks: +1, -0

End product of glycolysis is

(1988)

acetyl CoA
pyruvic acid
glucose 1 -phosphate
fructose 1 -phosphate.

Validate

Solution:

(b) : Glycolysis or EMP pathway is the breakdown of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid through a series of enzyme mediated reaction releasing energy. Pyruvic acid is a 3 -carbon compound. In glycolysis net gain of

2\,\mathrm{ATP}

and 2 NADH

_{2}

molecules occurs. It can be represented in equation form as -

\mathrm{C}_{6}\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_{6} + 2\,\mathrm{ADP} + 2\,\mathrm{\Pi} + 2\,\mathrm{NAD} \;\; \rightarrow \;\; 2\,\mathrm{CH}_{3}\mathrm{COCOOH} + 2\,\mathrm{ATP} + 2\,\mathrm{NADH}_{2}
