Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A net total of ____ ATP molecules are created during glycolysis.
A
two
B
four
C
thirty-four
D
thirty-six
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2 molecules of ATP are utilised in the glycolysis. One molecule of ATP is utilised when glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate and the other is utilised when fructose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate . So, the net gain of ATP molecules during glycolysis is 2.

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: -One glucose molecule yields four ATP molecules in total during glycolysis. Since 2 ATP molecules are used up in the first phase of glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
