alleryThe key product of glycolysis is:
APectic acid
BPyruvic acid
CPyrogallic acid
DPicric acid
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Pyruvic acid
1. Glycolysis stops short of complete oxidation.
2. What it leaves behind feeds the next stage.
3. Pyruvic acid is then the key product of glycolysis.
4. So the answer is pyruvic acid.
