There is a net gain of how many ATP molecules for each molecule of glucose processed to pyruvate via glycolysis:
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 32

Respuesta :

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Glycolysis or EMP pathway is first stage of cellular respiration that occur in the cytoplasm of every living cell. It is a common process of both anaerobic and aerobic respiration. During glycolysis glucose, a 6 carbon sugar is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, a three carbon sugar. During this conversion 4 ATP molecules are produced. Two oxidise glucose to pyruvate, 2 ATP molecules are also required or used up. Thus, a net gain of 2 ATP molecules at the completion of glycolysis.
