B. Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate.
C. Glycolysis involves the conversion of pyruvate into glucose to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
D. Glycolysis involves the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl CoA.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the biological process whereby one glucose molecule is broken down to two pyruvate molecules. There are a lot of enzymatic processes that are involved in this. It is one of the most important reactions in the world because it allows living cells to harness chemical energy from organic molecules
