Q. Which of the following is true regarding glycolysis? I. Takes place in cytosol II. Produces no ATP III. Has no connection with electron transport chain IV. Reduces two molecules of $NAD^{+}$ for every glucose molecule processed Choose the correct option
A) Only I
B) I, II and III
C) I and II
D) None of these
Explanation
In the process of glycolysis, 6 carbon molecules of glucose is split into 2, 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. In this, one molecules of $NAD^{+}$ are reduced for each glucose molecule. The energy stored with the NADH is released in the electron transport chain. This process (glycolysis) occurs in cytosol
