What is the end product of glycolysis that does not enter the Kreb's cycle directly?
Correct answer: C. Pyruvic acid
- A. Acetic acid
- B. Alpha-ketoglutarate
- C. Pyruvic acid
- D. Citrate
Explanation
A. It is a carboxylic acid of 2 carbon. It is not the end product of glycolysis.B. Removal of Co2 from isocitrate forms Alpha ketoglutarate, which is the step of Krebs cycle.D. Acetyl CO-A and water combine with oxaloacetate to form citrates. This is the first step of Krebs cycle.

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.
