When one glucose molecule travels through the glycolysis processes, four molecules of ATP are generated. Is it accurate to suggest that glycolysis produces two ATP molecules?

Sagot :

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Technically, this is inaccurate. To say that glycolysis produces two ATP molecules strays from the input of ATP needed. Overall, 4 ATP molecules are produced during glycolysis. However, there is an input of 2 ATP molecules at the beginning. Therefore, the correct statement would be that glycolysis produces 2 net ATP molecules, not that glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules. (The word net makes a big difference!!).
