Q99 / 200 · NEET 2003 · Chemistry

Glycolysis is:

A
oxidation of glucose to glutamate
B
conversion of pyruvate to citrate
Correct answer
C
oxidation of glucose to pyruvate
D
conversion of glucose to haem

Solution

Glycolysis is a cytoplasmic pathway which breaks down glucose into two three-carbon compound i.e., pyruvate and generates energy. Caution The final product of glycolysis is pyruvate in aerobic conditions and lactate in anaerobic conditions.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
