Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glycolysis yields a net energy profit of ____ ATP molecules per molecule of glucose.
A
0
B
1
C
2
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the process of breaking down glucose to create energy. Glycolysis generates 2 ATP and 2 NADH, for a total of 8 ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Results of Glycolysis The energy to split glucose is provided by two molecules of ATP. As glycolysis proceeds, energy is released, and the energy is used to make four molecules of ATP. As a result, there is a net gain of two ATP molecules during glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two molecules of triose-phosphate produced per molecule of glucose yields 4–6 ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: In glycolysis, the net gain of ATP molecules is 2. Two ATP per glucose molecule are required to initiate the process, then a total of four ATP are produced per molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Glycolysis is the conversion of one glucose to two molecules of pyruvate. During glycolysis, a total of 4 ATPs are produced, out of which two ATPs are utilized.
