In glycolysis, for each molecule of glucose oxidized to pyruvate A. 2 molecules of ATP are used and 2 molecule of ATP are produced. B. 2 molecules of ATP are used and 4 molecules of ATP are produced. C. 4 molecules of ATP are used and 2 molecules of ATP are produced. D. 2 molecules of ATP are used and 6 molecules of ATP are produced. E. 6 molecules of ATP are used and 6 molecules of ATP are produced.

Glycolysis is the first phase of ecllular respiration that converts one six-carbon molecule of glucose into two three-carbon molecules of pyruvate.
One glucose molecule produces four ATP, two NADH, and two pyruvate molecules during glycolysis.
The net products of this process are two molecules of ATP, since four molecules of ATP are produced and 2 ATP molecul;es are used, and two molecules of NADH.

During glycolysis, the statement which is correct is: Choice B: 2 molecules of ATP are used and 4 molecules of ATP are produced.

Definition:

Glycolysis is the first of a series of catabolic reactions by means of which Glucose is converted to the absorbable form of energy in the cell termed ATP.

Additionally, Glycolysis is a process characterized by the catabolism of glucose which is a 6-carbon compound, into two molecules of pyruvate, a 3-carbon compound.

In the entire process of glycolysis, 4 ATP molecules are produced and 2 ATP molecules are required for the reaction to take place.
