Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis begins with the six carbon ring-shaped structure of a single glucose molecule and ends with two molecules of a three-carbon sugar called pyruvate.
Detailed explanation-2: -The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are sources DHAP, meaning when the cell needs glycerol-3-phosphate that it can use sugars (glucose, fructose, mannose, or galactose) as sources in glycolysis.
Detailed explanation-4: -No it is not. It starts with glucose, and ends up with 2 molecules of pyruvate.
Detailed explanation-5: -It should be noted that when there is a surplus of glucose, some of the glucose will be converted to glycogen. Later, when blood sugar begins to fall, glycogen can be broken down into monomers of glucose again, which will enter glycolysis.
