Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into molecules of:
Correct answer: C. Pyruvate
- A. Glycerol
- B. Lactic acid
- C. Pyruvate
- D. Succinic acid
Explanation
Glycolysis is the process where glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, which are three-carbon compounds. This is the final product of the glycolysis pathway.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
