Question

during glycolysis, 4 atp are used and 2 are produced, giving an overall gain of 2 atp molecules. true false

Explanation:

During glycolysis, 2 ATP are used (not 4) in the initial steps to phosphorylate glucose and its derivatives. Then, 4 ATP are produced through substrate - level phosphorylation. The net gain is calculated as \(4 - 2=2\) ATP. But the statement in the question has an incorrect value for the ATP used (it says 4 instead of 2).

Answer:

FALSE
