Question

question 6
how many atp molecules (net yield) are produced per molecule of glucose during glycolysis?
○ a. 38
○ b. 4
○ c. 1
○ d. 2
○ e. 36

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose. During glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules are consumed initially (to convert glucose to fructose - 1,6 - bisphosphate). Then, 4 ATP molecules are produced through substrate - level phosphorylation. The net yield is calculated as \(4 - 2=2\).

Answer:

d. 2
