Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the process of glycolysis and what happens to glucose during this metabolic pathway. It presents multiple-choice options related to glucose metabolism.
Answer
Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules.
The final answer is glucose is broken down into smaller molecules.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is glucose is broken down into smaller molecules.
More Information
During glycolysis, one glucose molecule is split into two molecules of pyruvate, resulting in the production of ATP and NADH.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing glycolysis with processes like gluconeogenesis or the Calvin cycle.
