Question

What occurs during glycolosis?

Answer 1

Glycolysis:

1. Glycolysis is the foremost step in breaking the glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism.
2. Glycolysis consists of an energy-requiring phase.
3. It is followed by an energy-releasing phase.
4. During the process of glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks into pyruvate and energy.
5. In total, 2 molecules of ATP are generated in the process.
6. The glucose used during glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.
