When one glucose molecule undergoes glycolysis it generates ________.
A)6 ATP
B)6 ATP and 2 NADH
C)2 ATP and 2 NADH
D)2 ATP and 4 NADH
E)12 ATP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis results in the net production of 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules. Therefore, the correct choice is C, which states that one glucose molecule undergoing glycolysis generates 2 ATP and 2 NADH. The other choices are incorrect because they either overestimate the amount of ATP produced or include additional products that are not generated solely from glycolysis.
