Question 30 of 38

1

Which of the following most FULLY summarizes what takes place during glycolysis (i.e., what molecules are consumed, what molecules are generated, and what energy is produced)?

Select one of the following:

  • Glucose is broken down into two molecules of G3P, and then this is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. Energy is released in the form of ATP and NADH.
