The given statement about glycolysis that it joins glucose to other molecules to make pyruvate is a false statement as glycolysis is a catabolic reaction for glucose molecules.
Glycolysis is the first stage or process of cellular respiration in which -
- one glucose molecule is broken down and two molecules of pyruvate are generated.
- Four ATP molecules also generate, however, two ATP molecules are used, therefore, a net gain of two ATP molecules.
- It is the fundamental process that takes place in both aerobic and anaerobic (lactate formed instead of pyruvate) cellular respiration.

C₆[tex]H_{12}[/tex]O₆ + 2ADP + 2Pi + 2NAD⁺ → 2C₃H₄O₃ + 2H₂O + 2ATP + 2NADH + 2H⁺
On the basis of the given explanation, it is evident that the given statement is a false statement.
