Question

During cellular respiration, four total ATP are produced when pyruvic acid is created. What else is produced as a result of this reaction?(1 point)

oxygen

sugar

Answer 1

During cellular respiration, specifically during the glycolysis process where pyruvic acid is produced from glucose, the primary products alongside the net gain of four ATP are two molecules of NADH, and two molecules of pyruvic acid. However, from the options provided, the answer would be **none of those options directly related to glycolysis** (as it does not produce water, heat, oxygen, or sugar specifically).

If we're considering the broader context of cellular respiration as a whole, then **heat** can be produced as a byproduct. Hence, if you must select from the provided responses, **heat** would be the most appropriate answer.
