Lena Campos · Answer 1

a). Major products of glycolysis include pyruvate, ATP, and NADH

b) Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvate.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a process in which a glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis occurs without oxygen therefore it can occur in both aerobes and anaerobes.

The process of glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and the products of glycolysis are 2 molecules of pyruvate, 2ATP, and 2 NADH molecule. Then the pyruvate molecule gets into mitochondria which it's complete oxidation takes place. Therefore the right answer is a and b.
