D)FADH₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyruvic acid (also called pyruvate) is the carbon-based end product of glycolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, which then enters the mitochondria for further metabolism in the citric acid cycle. NADH and FADH₂ are electron carriers produced during cellular respiration, and ATP is produced throughout the process, but they are not the carbon-based end product of glycolysis.
