Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is needed for glycolysis to occur?
A
oxygen
B
pyruvate
C
water
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘ATP, ADP, NAD+, Glucose, cytoplasmic enzymes’.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -When blood sugar levels drop, glycogen is broken down into glucose-1-phosphate, which is then converted to glucose-6-phosphate and enters glycolysis for ATP production. In the liver, galactose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate in order to enter the glycolytic pathway.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).

Detailed explanation-5: -ATP (adenosine triphospate) is an energy-carrier molecule that can assist in providing some energy to break these covalent bonds. Therefore, the use of ATP is crucial to the process of glycolysis.
