Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glycolysis requires
A
ATP
B
Oxygen
C
sunlight
D
NADP+
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 requires specific ingredients to work. The inputs of glycolysis include a living cell, cytoplasmic enzymes, glucose, and energy transfer molecules nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).ADP. Hence ATP, ADP, NAD+, Glucose, cytoplasmic enzymes are required in glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis starts with one molecule of glucose and ends with two pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules, a total of four ATP molecules, and two molecules of NADH.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules. However, 2 ATP molecules are required to initiate glycolysis. Subtracting these two numbers gives the net ATP yield from glycolysis–2 ATP molecules.
