Question

In the process of glycolysis, four ATP molecules are synthesized from four ADP molecules. Why does glycolysis not yield four molecules of ATP?
A TWO ATP molecules are lost in the cytoplasm.

B. Two ATP molecules are converted immediately back to ADP.

C. Two ATP molecules are required to start the process.

D. Two ATP molecules are absorbed in the mitochondria

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

two ATP molecules are required to start the process. initially when glucose is phosphorylated it requires energy which is provided by the hydrolysis of ATP so 2 molecules are used up.
