Glycolysis requires an investment of 2 ATP, but it yields a total of 4 ATP, netting 2 ATP. So more ATP is produced than is used.

Answer:

The correct answer will be more ATP is produced than is used.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a metaboilc process which converts the glucose (6C) molecule to form 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (3C) molecules, 2 ATP and 2 NADH.

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration which takes place in the cytosol of the cell. This process involves many intermediate reaction which are phosphorylation, lysis, oxidation and ATP formation .

1. During ATP investment phase or phosphorylation, glucose is phosphorylated to form glucose bis-phosphate utilizing 2 molecules of ATP.

2.During ATP formation, the energy released from the sugar intermediates ( 1,3-phosphogylecrate and phosphoenol pyrauvate) is used to synthesise ATP via a process called substrate level phosphorylation producing total of 4 ATP.

2 ATP are used while 4 ATP are produced in glycolysis process shows that more ATP is produced than is used.

Hence, more ATP is produced than is used is the correct answer.

Which is the order of airflow during inhalation?

Brums [2.3K]

The correct answer is B. Nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli

Explanation

The breath of living beings is divided into two processes, the first is inhalation and the second is exhalation. Regarding the first, it is the process in which the air is taken by the beings to be conducted to their lungs through their noses, passing through the nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and finally alveoli where gas exchange occurs. The second process is the opposite, in which the air inside the lungs converted into CO2 is expelled, passing through the same places in an inverted manner, that is, alveoli, bronchioles, bronchi, trachea, larynx and nasal cavity. So, the correct answer is B. Nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.
