Questions and Answers

Explain the process of glycolysis in cellular respiration.

Glycolysis is the process in which a molecule of glucose is transformed into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, releasing small amounts of energy that are captured in other molecules. It begins with the investment of 2 ATP molecules and ultimately produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule.

What is the initial investment in ATP molecules for glycolysis?

The initial investment in ATP molecules for glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules.

How many ATP molecules are produced in glycolysis for each molecule of glucose?

Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules for each molecule of glucose, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

What is the analogy used to describe the initial ATP investment in glycolysis?

<p>The analogy used is that the 2 ATP molecules put into glycolysis are like an investment that pays back interest, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.</p> Signup and view all the answers
