Question

Glycolysis provides a cell with a net gain of:
a. 18 ATP molecules.
b. 36 ATP molecules.
c. 4 ATP molecules.
d. 2 ATP molecules.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 2 ATP molecules.

Explanation:

The net gain from glycolysis is two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH. The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA and its metabolism via the citric acid cycle yields two additional molecules of ATP, eight of NADH, and two of FADH2.
