E) heat must be supplied.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate. This process requires an input of energy in the form of ATP, which is used to activate glucose and eventually produce ATP itself. Glucose does not need to enter the mitochondria for glycolysis to occur, and oxygen is not required until later in cellular respiration. ATP synthase is not directly involved in glycolysis, and heat is not required for the process.
