Question

How many ATPs are formed at the end of glycolysis?

Answer 1

Glycolysis:

1. Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy.
2. It produces two molecules of pyruvate, ATP, NADH and water.
3. It occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell.
4. 4 ATPs are produced and 2 NADPH are produced in glycolysis.
5. Each NADPH gives 3 ATP molecules. 2 ATPs are utilized in the glycolysis.

Number of ATP at the end of glycolysis:

8 ATPs are formed at the end of glycolysis.
