Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the reactant for Glycolysis, the first step in respiration?
A
energy
B
glucose
C
carbon dioxide
D
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first phase of cellular respiration, glycolysis, uses glucose as a reactant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis starts with glucose and ends with two pyruvate molecules, a total of four ATP molecules and two molecules of NADH.

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: -Step 1: Glucose is phosphorylated by the enzyme hexokinase to form glucose 6-phosphate. Glucose gains energy by being phosphorylated at the expense of one ATP. Step 2: Glucose 6-phosphate is converted into its isomer, fructose 6-phosphate, by an isomerase enzyme.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, and the reactants are one molecule of glucose and two molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
