  • Due to the phosphate groups (correct)
  • Study Notes

    Glycolysis Reaction

    • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is responsible for balancing the charges in the overall reaction of glycolysis.
    • The two phosphate (Pi) groups in glycolysis play a crucial role in energy conservation, as they are transferred to form ATP from ADP.
    • The overall reaction of glycolysis appears unbalanced with respect to oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, and charges because it involves the conversion of one glucose molecule (C6H12O6) into two pyruvate molecules (C3H4O3), resulting in an apparent imbalance in oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
