Which Molecules are Made During Glycolysis

Question

Which molecules are made during glycolysis?
A) NADH and ATP
B) ADP and NADPH
C) water and NAD⁺
D) oxygen and water

Accepted Answer

During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, generating a net yield of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules. Therefore, the correct answer is A) NADH and ATP. B) is incorrect as NADPH is not produced during glycolysis, and ADP is consumed to produce ATP. C) is incorrect as water is not a product of glycolysis, and NAD⁺ is the oxidized form of NADH. D) is incorrect as glycolysis is an anaerobic process that does not require oxygen.
