Question

During glycolysis, a six-carbon glucose reacts with oxygen to produce two three-carbon pyruvate molecules. Which molecule provides the energy used to initiate (start) glycolysis?

Question 7 options:

a.NADH


b.Amylase


c.ATP

Answer 1

I believe it is ATP.

Answer 2

The answer here is ATP.

ATP is used in the first step of glycolysis to convert glucose into glucose-6-phosphate (that's where the phosphate comes from).
