NEET Biology question

At the end of glycolysis, X is the net energy gain from one molecule of glucose via Y, but there is also energy stored in the form of Z. Identify X, Y and Z.

(A)X-1 ATP, Y-Oxidative phosphorylation, Z-NADH+H+
(B)X-2 ATP, Y-Oxidative phosphorylation, Z-NADH+H+
(C)X-1 ATP, Y-Substrate level phosphorylation, Z-FADH2
(D)X-2 ATP, Y-Substrate level phosphorylation, Z-NADH+H+Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Glycolysis yields a net gain of 2 ATP, produced directly by substrate-level phosphorylation (not oxidative phosphorylation, which
