How many molecules of pyruvic acid are formed in glycolysis?

Options

Correct answer

A. 2

Step-by-step solution

In glycolysis, 2 molecules of pyruvic acid are formed. It is the first step of degradation of glucose. The main purpose of glycolysis is the generation of energy in the form of ATP. However, comparatively more ATPs are formed downstream of glycolysis through the complete oxidation of pyruvate.
