    In glycolysis, glucose molecule is converted in to:

    A) PEP                       

    B)       RuBP                    

    C) acetyl Co-A        

    D)        pyruvic acid

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Glycolysis is also known as Embden-Mayerhoff Paranas (EMP) pathway. i. This process takes place in cytoplasm of all cells (eukaryotic and prokaryotic) and does not require presence of oxygen. In this process ii. One molecule of glucose (6C) is converted into two molecules of pyruvic acids (3C). iii. 4 ATP molecules are formed and 2 ATP are used. iv. \[2NADP{{H}_{2}}\] molecules are also formed during this process. Thus, net 8 ATP (6 ATP from \[2NADP{{H}_{2}}\]) via ETS are formed in glycolysis.
