Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct option from the given is to be selected which gives the net synthesis due to conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis, also termed as Embden-Meyerhof pathway, is an oxidative pathway, in which one mole of glucose is converted into two moles of pyruvate. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cells. It occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic organisms and does not include molecular oxygen.
