Detailed Solution

The end product of glycolysis is pyruvate.

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that takes place in the cytoplasm of cells and involves the conversion of a single molecule of glucose (a six-carbon sugar) into two molecules of pyruvate (a three-carbon compound). 

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is released as energy during this process, and the coenzyme NAD+ is reduced to NADH. 

The final product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is then metabolised in the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle) to produce more ATP and other energy-rich molecules. 

Glucose is the starting molecule that is broken down during glycolysis, not the end product.
