In glycolysis, a six-carbon glucose molecule is converted into two three-carbon molecules of

A) citrate.
B) acetate.
C) pyruvate.
D) oxaloacetate.
E) coenzyme A

Six-Carbon Glucose

Six-carbon glucose is a simple sugar and primary energy source for cells, central to cellular respiration and metabolic processes.

Three-Carbon Molecules

Organic compounds composed of three carbon atoms, which are fundamental building blocks in organic chemistry and biochemistry.

Pyruvate

Pyruvate is a key end-product of glycolysis and serves as an important intermediary in several metabolic pathways, including the Krebs cycle.
