Solution

The correct option is A 8
Although four ATP molecules are produced in the second half, the net gain of glycosis is only two ATP because two ATP molecules are used in the first half of glycosis.
Glycosis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.
2ATP + 2 NADP 8 ATP
So, the correct answer is '8 ATP'.
