Question

task card #7
what is being broken down in glycolysis?
image of a diagram related to glycolysis with labels like glycerol, amino acids, adp, atp, etc.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose (a simple sugar, or monosaccharide) into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process. The diagram and knowledge of cellular respiration confirm that glucose is the primary substrate entering glycolysis.

Answer:

Glucose (or a sugar molecule, specifically glucose is broken down in glycolysis)
