Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Choose the first phase of Glycolysis
A
Energy payoff phase
B
Energy power phase
C
Energy saving phase
D
Energy investment phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first stage of glycolysis involves an energy investment of two ATP. When studying metabolic pathways, pay attention to the name of the enzyme and what the enzyme did. Step 1: Glucose is phosphorylated by the enzyme hexokinase to form glucose 6-phosphate.

Detailed explanation-2: -This phase is known as the energy-requiring phase or the energy investment phase because energy in the form of ATP is needed in order to form the unstable fructose molecule from glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glycolysis energy-investment phase involves the investment of two ATP molecules, which leads to the creation of two molecules of glyceraldehyde phosphate. Hexokinase uses one ATP to convert glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, which is then transformed to ADP.
