Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glycolysis requires
A
ATP
B
oxygen
C
sunlight
D
NADP+
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘ATP, ADP, NAD+, Glucose, cytoplasmic enzymes’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules. However, 2 ATP molecules are required to initiate glycolysis.
