Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvate which involves the oxidation of glucose and the reduction of NAD to NADH by accepting a pair of electrons from a hydrogen molecule. Each pair of hydrogens generated in glycolysis is used to reduce 2 molecules of NAD to NADH. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
