An anaerobic metabolic pathway that results in the production of two net ATPs per glucose plus two pyruvic acid molecules is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis is the anaerobic metabolic pathway that results in the production of two net ATPs per glucose plus two pyruvic acid molecules. The citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain are aerobic metabolic pathways that occur in the mitochondria and produce much more ATP than glycolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that breaks down molecules using water, and is not directly related to ATP production.
