Is water a product of glycolysis?

Sourav PanDecember 13, 2024

Answered step-by-step

Yes, water is a product of glycolysis. Specifically, water is released during the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the seventh step of glycolysis. This is a dehydration reaction, where a water molecule is removed from the intermediate. While water is not a major product, it is one of the outputs during the pathway.
