How many molecules of pyruvic acid are produced at the end of glycolysis from

206

molecules of glucose ?

Options

A $412$
B $206$
C $309$
D $103$

Correct answer

A. $412$

Step-by-step solution

In glycolysis, one molecule of glucose is broken down to produce two molecules of pyruvic acid.

Therefore, the number of pyruvic acid molecules produced from

206

molecules of glucose is

206 \times 2 = 412

.

Answer:

412
