GLYCOLYSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Is glycolysis anabolic or catabolic?
A
anabolic
B
catabolic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is a universal catabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate through a sequence of ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and generates the high-energy molecules ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

Detailed explanation-2: -An example of anabolism is gluconeogenesis. This is when the liver and kidneys produce glucose from noncarbohydrate sources. Catabolism is what happens when you digest food and the molecules break down in the body for use as energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you eat food and the molecules break down in the body for use as energy, catabolism is what occurs. In the body, large, complicated molecules are broken down into smaller, basic ones. Glycolysis is an example of catabolism.
