Question

Which of the following statements is true of glycolysis? Question 8 options: It produces a net gain of ATP. It produces a net gain of FADH. It is an aerobic process. It can be performed only by bacteria. It produces more ATP than aerobic respiration.

Answer 1

Answer:

It produces a net gain of ATP.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a methabolic process that converts a glucose molecule (C₆H₁₂O₆) into two pyruvate molecules (C₃H₄O₃).

It has an energy investment phase when 2 ATP molecules are used, but later there is an energy payoff phase where 4 ATP molecules are produced, so there is a total net gain of 2 ATP. The electrons from glucose are used to reduce 2 NAD+ into 2 NADH.
