Question

ATP is the main energy molecule that fuels life's activities. Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose to
extract ATP. Glycolysis represents the cell's ability to
O anabolize molecules.
O catabolize molecules.
O synthesize proteins.
O make copies of itself

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycolysis represents the cell's ability to  catabolize molecules.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is degraded to form ATP molecules, which involves the catabolism of glucose.

Catabolic processes involve any process of degradation of a compound in its simplest components, which in turn are degraded with energy formation and some by-products. To produce ATP in the mitochondria - by aerobic route - glucose is converted into glyceraldehyde and then into pyruvate, with the final obtaining of ATP.

The other options do not match because:

• Anabolism is applied to the elaboration or synthesis of an organic compound.
• Protein synthesis is an anabolic process, where a molecule is built from several components.
• Molecules like DNA can make faithful copies of their chains -make copies of itself- a process called replication.
