Question image

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the net gain of ATP molecules produced during the glycolysis process from one glucose molecule.

Answer

2

The final answer is 2.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 2.

More Information

Glycolysis produces a total of 4 ATP molecules, but since 2 ATP molecules are consumed in the process, the net gain is 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

Tips

A common mistake is forgetting that 2 ATP are consumed in the early steps of glycolysis, leading to an overestimate of ATP gain.
