Question

Which statement is false as it concerns glycolysis? Its rate is slowed down by a high [NADH/NAD+] ratio It results in the synthesis of NAD+ It results in a net synthesis of ATP It is inhibited by high levels of citrate It is activated by high [AMP]

Answer 1

It results in the synthesis of NAD+

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose molecules into pyruvic acid -also known as pyruvate-, and a hydrogen ion (H+). Glycolysis is an anaerobic pathway that is independent of the presence of oxygen. This pathway generates energy by the formation of 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvic acid molecules, these last molecules are used in the citric acid cycle to generate more energy. The pyruvic acid generated by glycolysis enters the mitochondrion to be first converted into acetyl-CoA and subsequently into citrate.
