Question

The major reason that glycolysis is not as energy productive as respiration is that 

(a) NAD⁺ is regenerated by alcohol or lactate production, without the high-energy electrons passing through the electron transport chain. 

(b) it is the pathway common to fermentation and respiration. 

(c) it does not take place in a specialized membrane-bound organelle. 

(d) pyruvate is more reduced than CO₂ ; it still contains much of the energy from glucose.

Answer 1

Correct option: (d) pyruvate is more reduced than CO₂ ; it still contains much of the energy from glucose.
