Answer:

2 molecules of ATP

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the anaerobic process (no oxygen required) used in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy. It occurs in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It is the first step of cellular respiration.

Glycolysis is subdivided into two phases: the first phase uses energy (ATP), while the second phase produces it together with pyruvate and NADH.

Two molecules of ATP are required for the first stage of glycolysis, while 4 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules are formed in the second stage.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

$\text{From the given question, we are to copy and complete the passage.}$

$\text{The functional pathway for the gustatory system begins with taste cells whose} \\ \\ \text{function is the} \ \mathbf{sensation} \ \text{of taste. Taste cells form synapses with the} \\ \\ \mathbf{gustatory \ afferent \ axons} \ \text{whose cell bodies are in the gustatory ganglion, }$

$\text{and whose axon form the} \ \mathbf{vagal \ nerves} \text{and the glossopharyngela nerve.} \\ \\ \text{These axons terminate in the gustatory nucleus of the solitary nucleus.} \\ \\ \text{The gustatory nucleus project into the} \ \mathbf{ hypothalamus.} \\ \\ \text{These thalamic nucleus project into the} \ \mathbf{olfactory \ projection} \ \text{in the } \\ \\ \text{parietal cortex and function of these neurons is the} \ \mathbf{ sensation} \ \text{ of taste. } \\ \\$

$\text{It is also important to mention an accessory pathway where only} \ \mathbf{sensory } \\ \\ \text{information travels from the gustatory nucleus to a motor nucleus in the brainstem.} \\ \\ \text{This motor nucleus projects to muscle cells of the esophagus and stomach, producing} \\ \\ \text{reflexive }\mathbf{arc}$
