Question

In glycolysis, each molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. when this happens, most of the potential energy is contained in glucose is

Answer 1

Most  of  the  potential  energy  which  s  contained  in  glucose  is  retained in  the   2 pyruvates.  pyruvate  from  glycosis is  converted  acetyl co A   for  it  to enter  citric acid  cycle.  pyruvate  is  modified  by  removal  of  carbonyl  group  followed  by  oxidation  and  tjhen  attached  to   the  co  enzyme  A
