Question

8) Anytime a Glucose Molecule is broken down in the Cytoplasm how many

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of cellular respiration, which is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the cell to yield energy (ATP). However, the process of cellular respiration is further divided into stages viz: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Glycolysis is the first stage of the process, which occurs in the CYTOPLASM of the cell. Hence, this question is specifically describing the process of glycolysis. During glycolysis, glucose molecule is broken down in a series of steps to yield a net of 2 ATP molecules.
