Which of the following is true about glycolysis?
A) the net yield of ATP is two ATPs for each molecule of glucose
B) it provides cells with a relatively large amount of energy
C) four molecules of ATP are used in the initial phosphorylation steps
D) the ATP that is used up during glycolysis is not considered in calculating the net yield of ATP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net yield of ATP during glycolysis is 2 ATPs for each molecule of glucose that undergoes glycolysis. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because the amount of energy produced during glycolysis is relatively small when compared to other cellular respiration pathways like the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Option C is incorrect because only two molecules of ATP are used in the initial phosphorylation steps. Option D is incorrect because the ATP used during glycolysis is considered when calculating the net yield of ATP.
