GLYCOLYSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glycolysis requires oxygen
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis, which is the first step in all types of cellular respiration is anaerobic and does not require oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis does not require oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glycolysis process truly does not require oxygen to proceed. The glycolysis process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid in the absences of oxygens. Glycolysis takes place in virtually all living cells, including all animal cells, all plant cells, and almost all bacterial cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The steps of glycolysis are as follows: Glucose gets phosphorylated by hexokinase, forming glucose-6-phosphate. This step requires one molecule of ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -FADH2 is not produced during glycolysis. It is produced during Krebs cycle. Hence, Option D is correct.
