Questão
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)?
Responda
-
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.
