The stages of glucose breakdown can be divided into four distinct phases.

  • Glycolysis. The initial breakdown of glucose occurs in the cell cytoplasm

  • The Preparatory Reaction. This reaction occurs in the matrix, or interior, of the mitochondria of cells

  • The Citric Acid Cycle

  • The Electron Transport Chain

Answer:

Correct option is

D

Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose or similar hexose sugar into two molecules of pyruvic acid through a series of enzyme mediated reactions, releasing energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADH

2

). It is the first step of respiration, which occurs inside the cytoplasm and is independent of O

2

. In glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are consumed during double phosphorylation of glucose to form fructose 1,6 diphosphate. Four molecules of ATP are produced in the conversion of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate whereas, two molecules of NADH

2

are formed during oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-diphosphoglycerate. Since, each NADH is equivalent to 3 ATP, so net gain in glycolysis is 8 ATP.
