How many molecules of pyruvic acid are produced from the complete glycolysis of three molecules of glucose?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 6
Since one molecule of glucose produces two molecules of pyruvic acid, three molecules of glucose will yield $3 imes 2 = 6$ molecules of pyruvic acid.
