When one molecule of glucose undergoes oxidation in glycolysis, it produces
Options
- A2 molecules of pyruvic acid
- B1 molecule of pyruvic acid
- C2 molecules of C O 2
- D2 molecules of O 2
Correct answer
A. 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
Step-by-step solution
Glucose is a six carbon compound and it undergoes oxidation in glycolysis to form two molecules of six carbon compound called pyruvic acid. Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm and the most common pathways is EMP pathway.
