Question
what is being broken down in glycolysis? glyceral amino acids amino acids glycolysis pyruvate adp atp
Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, and its primary substrate is glucose (a simple sugar). During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvate, along with the production of ATP from ADP. The diagram also shows inputs like glycerol and amino acids, but the main molecule broken down in glycolysis (and the typical primary substrate) is glucose.
