The Three Main Products of Glycolysis Are

Question

The three main products of glycolysis are: A) ATP, NAD⁺, and CO2. B) ATP, pyruvic acid, and CO2. C) ATP, NADH, and CO2. D) ATP. NADH, and pyruvic acid. E) NAD⁺, pyruvic acid, and CO2.

Accepted Answer

The three main products of glycolysis are ATP, NADH, and pyruvic acid. Choice A and E provide inaccurate acronyms for NADH and fail to mention pyruvic acid. Choice B is inaccurate as it lists pyruvic acid and CO₂ as products; CO₂ is not a product of glycolysis. Choice C is close but includes NADH instead of NAD⁺, which is the acronym for the electron carrier molecules produced during glycolysis.
