Question

Which is true of glycolysis? (Select all that apply)

A.) A gross total of 4 ATP are produced
b.) NADH will carry electrons to the electron transport chain
C.)1 molecule of glucose is split into two pyruvic acids
D.)2 net ATP are produced
E.) NADH are produced
F.) 2 ATP are consumed

Answer 1

2 ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi --> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.
