Glycolysis

Question

Glycolysis

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that takes place in the cytoplasm of cells and is the first step in cellular respiration. It breaks down a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules, producing a net gain of two ATP molecules and two NADH molecules for each glucose molecule processed. This means that glycolysis reduces two molecules of NAD+ to two molecules of NADH for every glucose molecule processed. Therefore, the correct choice is E, which states that glycolysis reduces two molecules of NAD+ to two molecules of NADH for every glucose molecule processed.
