Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glucose is broken down during which process
A
Krebs cycle
B
Calvin cycle
C
Glycolysis
D
Photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can diffuse into mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle and generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is the process in which one glucose molecule is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid (also called pyruvate). The glycolysis process is a multi-step metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of animal cells, plant cells, and the cells of microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -In glycolysis, glucose (C6) is split into two 3-carbon (C3) pyruvate molecules. This releases energy, which is transferred to ATP.
