Question

8 choose the phrase that best describes glycolysis. multiple choice a multistep process resulting in the enzymatic splitting and oxidation of glucose to form pyruvic acid, with a net gain of 2 atp the series of catabolic reactions that break down pyruvate to form acetyl coa and co₂ a series of redox reactions used to generate atp using energy harvested from the transport of electrons from nadh and fadh₂ a cyclic series of redox reactions that process pyruvic acid and release co₂ and generate atp and nadh

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a multi - step, enzymatic process where glucose is split and oxidized to form pyruvic acid, with a net gain of 2 ATP. The other options describe different metabolic processes like pyruvate breakdown, electron - transport chain, and the citric acid cycle.

Answer:

A. A multistep process resulting in the enzymatic splitting and oxidation of glucose to form pyruvic acid, with a net gain of 2 ATP
