In the energy- yielding phase of glycolysis, energy is extracted in the form of
A) NADH and ATP.
B) phosphorylated intermediates.
C) carbon dioxide.
D) pyruvate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the energy-yielding phase of glycolysis, energy is extracted in the form of NADH (which can be used in oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP) and ATP (which can be used directly by the cell for energy). Phosphorylated intermediates and pyruvate are also produced during glycolysis, but they are not the primary forms of energy extracted during this phase. Carbon dioxide is not produced during glycolysis.
