The net gain of energy from glycolysis is
|
|
8 ADP molecules
|
|
|
4 ATP molecules
|
|
|
3 pyruvic acid molecules
|
|
|
2 ATP molecules
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘8 ATP’.
Detailed explanation-2: -2 molecules of ATP are utilised in the glycolysis. One molecule of ATP is utilised when glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate and the other is utilised when fructose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate. So, the net gain of ATP molecules during glycolysis is 2.
