Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate along with the production of ATP. The ATP generated can be used for cellular processes or to support other metabolic pathways. Pyruvate can also be used in other metabolic pathways such as the TCA cycle. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
