What is the carbon-based end product (chain)of glycolysis? A) NADH B) ATP C) pyruvic acid D) FADH₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carbon-based end product (chain) of glycolysis is pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid is a three-carbon compound that can then be used in other metabolic pathways such as the citric acid cycle or converted to lactic acid or ethanol in the absence of oxygen. NADH and ATP are both important products of glycolysis, but they are not carbon-based chains. The choice D (FADH₂) is not a valid answer as it is not a known biochemical compound.
