An anaerobic metabolic pathway that results in the production of two net ATPs per glucose plus two pyruvic acid molecules is ________.
A) the citric acid cycle
B) glycolysis
C) hydrolysis
D) the electron transport chain

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis is the anaerobic metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into two pyruvic acid molecules and generates two net ATPs. The citric acid cycle and electron transport chain are part of aerobic respiration and occur in the mitochondria, while hydrolysis is a reaction that breaks down molecules with the addition of water.
