Solution
The correct option is C 2
The pathway of the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid is termed as glycolysis. This pathway is a step-wise process in which 2 ATPs are consumed in preparatory stage and 4 ATPs are released in payoff stage as shown below.
ATP consumed in preparatory stage = 2.
ATP released in payoff stage = 4.
Hence, net ATP during glycolysis = 4-2 = 2.
