Answer: Final input is Glucose, ATP

Final output is Pyruvate, ADP

Not input/output of glycolysis O2, CO2, NAD, NADH, Coenzyme A, Acetyl CoA.

Explanation:

Final input is Glucose, ATP

Final output is Pyruvate, ADP

Not input/output of glycolysis O2, CO2, NAD, NADH, Coenzyme A, Acetyl CoA.

The process of glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm and includes the breakdown of 6 C molecule (glucose) into 3C molecule (pyruvate) at the expense of ATP. The further process of respiration (where it will occur) for energy generation depends on the availability of O2 molecule. In presence of O2 pyruvate enters into mitochondria and thus, aerobic respiration takes place and in absence of O2 anaerobic respiration takes place in cytoplasm only and all the other molecules mentioned are utilized or produced during the processes other than glycolysis.
