Question

The oxidation of sugar is an energetically favorable process.
1) True
2) False

Answer 1

In glycolysis, the oxidation of sugar is an energetically favorable process.

Step-by-step explanation:

In glycolysis, the oxidation of sugar is an energetically favorable process. The net result is the formation of two molecules of G-3-P, which is an energetically unfavorable process. However, the overall process of glycolysis is exergonic and releases more free energy in active cells than it would in a closed system. Therefore, the statement is true.
