CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:The first step of cellular respiration produces no energy.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The answer is FALSE. Only a small amount of ATP is synthesized during ATP. Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. During glycolysis, a glucose molecule is catabolized to form two molecules of pyruvate of pyruvic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first stage of cellular respiration, called glycolysis, takes place in the cytoplasm. In this step, enzymes split a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, which releases energy that is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm of your cells. During this process, a glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid).

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm within the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-5: -All reactions require some energy to begin. This is called activation energy. The energy required for cellular respiration to begin is supplied by two ATP molecules. This occurs in the first part of cellular respiration, called glycolysis.
