As discussed in the introductory text, archaeans do NOT appear to use the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (glycolytic) pathway. Instead, they use alternate pathways to metabolize sugars. What is the function of this pathway in organisms that do use it?A) Glucose is used to synthesize two molecules of pyruvate with a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 CO2.B) Glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvate with a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH (regenerated to NAD+ to maintain redox balance in the third stage of glycolysis)C) Glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvate, and then fermentation is always used to produce ethanol and CO2.D) Glucose is use to synthesize starch or glycogen with a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH (regenerated to NAD+ to maintain redox balance in the third stage of glycolysis)
