Question

Glycolysis

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis indeed costs two ATP molecules at the beginning of the process to phosphorylate glucose and get the process started (A), produces a net gain of two ATP molecules but actually produces four ATP molecules in total (B), and the resultant molecule, pyruvate, enters the next step of the process, which can be the citric acid cycle if oxygen is present and pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA (C). Therefore, more than one response is correct.
