Solution

The correct option is D stimulated by ADP
  • For the glycolysis to start the glucose molecule is firstly to be converted to Glucose 6 phophaste after that only will the reaction proceed for which ATP is required which is converted to ADP after the conversion.
  • So when the amount of the ATP in the cell is reduced and the amount of ADP is increased the process is to be started to provide the cell with the required ATP.
  • So the receptors of the cells or the gene that regulate the process of glycolysis are somewhat stimulated by the presence of increased amount of ADP as there are other factors also which control the process of glycolysis such as the amount of ATP, Pyruvic acid etc.
  • Therefore it can be said that the ADP is one of the stimulating factors for the Glycolysis process.
  • Therefore the correct answer is option 'stimulated by ADP'.
