MCQ
Which is formed along with $\text{ATP}$ in glycolysis:
  • $\text{NADH}$
  • B
    $\text{NADPH}$
  • C
    $\text{FAD}$
  • D
    $\ce{FADH_2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\text{NADH}$
The net yield of the process of glycolysis is $\text{2 ATP}$ molecules and $\text{2 NADH}$ molecules, and $2$ protons for each glucose molecule oxidized to pyruvate.
Four $\text{ATP}$ molecules are produced in the sixth and ninth steps of glycolysis.
Two $\text{ATP}$ molecules are consumed in the first and third steps of glycolysis.
Two molecules of $\text{NADH}$ are formed in step $5$ of glycolysis by the acceptance of $2$ protons and four electrons by two molecules of $\text{NAD+.}$
