During cellular respiration, when pyruvic acid is created, the main products are ATP, NADH, and carbon dioxide, but from the options given, the most relevant byproducts other than ATP would include water.
However, it’s important to clarify that the production of pyruvic acid primarily occurs during glycolysis, which is the first stage of cellular respiration. The other stages (like the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation) further utilize pyruvic acid and eventually lead to the production of carbon dioxide and water.
So, from your provided options, the best response is water.
