Question

The number of net ATP molecules produced from $1$ glucose molecules during glycolysis is

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2$

During glycolysis, one molecule of glucose in converted into two molecules of pyruvic acid. In this, 2 net ATP molecules are generated. Actually during glycolysis, 4 molecules of ATP are produced per glucose molecule. However, 2 ATP molecules are consumed in the process of glycolysis.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
