Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The net reaction of glycolysis would be $ C_6H_{12}O_6+2ADP+2Pi+2NAD+\xrightarrow{Glu\cos e} $ $ \underset{Pyruvate}{\mathop{2C_3H_4O_3}},+2NADH(+{H^{+}})+2ATP+2H_2O $ $ \underset{Glu\cos e}{\mathop{C_6H_{12}O_6}},+8ADP+8Pi\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{Pyruvate}{\mathop{2C_3H_4O_3}},+8ATP+2H_2O $
