Number of steps in glycolysis is
A
10
B
11
C
9
D
8
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is divided into the preparatory phase (glucose to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ) and the pay-off phase (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to pyruvate). The glycolysis process generates NADH and ATP molecules. Glycolysis consists of ten steps in which the glucose is partially oxidized to pyruvic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -GLYCOLYSIS REVIEW & OVERVIEW There are ten steps (7 reversible; 3 irreversible).

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is the central pathway for glucose catabolism in which glucose (6-carbon compound) is converted into pyruvate (3-carbon compound) through a sequence of 10 steps.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some steps in glycolysis are irreversible because they are needed to control the glycolytic pathway and ensure the production of ATP.
