Question

For every one molecule of sugar glucose which is oxidized __________ molecule of pyruvic acid are produced.
A.1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer 1

one molecule of glucose produces 2 pyruvic acid molecules

Answer 2

For every one molecule of sugar glucose which is oxidized B. 2 molecule of pyruvic acid is produced.

Glycolysis:

• A cytoplasmic mechanism called glycolysis converts glucose into two molecules with three carbons each and releases energy.
• Hexokinase, a phosphorylating enzyme, assists in the phosphorylation process that traps glucose.
• This reaction uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the end result, glucose-6-P, inhibits hexokinase.
• The metabolic process that changes glucose into pyruvate is known as glycolysis.
• The high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide are created using the free energy released during this process.
• A series of ten enzyme-catalyzed processes make up glycolysis.
• It generates two pyruvate molecules, ATP, NADH, and water.
• There is no need for oxygen throughout the process, which occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell.
• Both aerobic and anaerobic creatures experience it.
