Which molecule is broken down by glycolysis?
|
|
citric acid
|
|
|
oxygen
|
|
|
ADP
|
|
|
glucose
|
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).
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is the first step of respiration in which glucose completely breaks into CO2 and H2O .
Detailed explanation-3: -Results of Glycolysis Energy is needed at the start of glycolysis to split the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules. These two molecules go on to stage II of cellular respiration. The energy to split glucose is provided by two molecules of ATP.
