How many ATPs are produced in glycolysis?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the number of ATP molecules produced during the process of glycolysis, which is a key metabolic pathway in cellular respiration.

Answer

4 ATP

The final answer is 4 ATP.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 4 ATP.

More Information

During glycolysis, a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule is achieved, but a total of 4 ATPs are produced through substrate-level phosphorylation.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse the net gain of ATP (which is 2) with the total ATP produced (which is 4).
