Shepard · Answer 1

e. This process produces 2 molecules of NAD + starting from 2 molecules of NADH

Explanation:

Glycolysis or EMP pathway is first stage of cellular respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. During glycolysis one 6 carbon glucose is converted into two molecules of 3 carbon pyruvic acid or pyruvate. This conversion does not require oxygen and in the process there is net gain of 2ATP. Along with ATPs, in the process of glycolysis, 2 electron carrying molecules NADH are produced from NAD⁺. Thus, option e. is not true.
