Question

How much energy is gained directly during glycolysis from one molecule of glucose?

• A. 34 kJ
• B. 72 kJ
• C. 68 kJ
• D. 50 kJ

Answer 1

The correct option is C 68 kJ

Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH,2 pyruvate molecules. It is the aerobic catabolic breakdown of glucose, which produces energy of 68KJ in form of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which itself enters a citric acid cycle to produce more energy.

So, the correct option is '68KJ'.
