The net production of ATP is 2.

This is because for glycolysis to occur, 2 ATP must be used. Glycolysis goes on to produce 4 ATP. The loss of 2 ATP and the gain of 4 ATP results in a total net gain of 2 ATP molecules. Note that the ATP produced during glycolysis are via substrate level phosphorylation.

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration where glucose is broken down down into pyruvate. It occurs in the cytosol. In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate is exported to the mitochondria where it is further oxidized. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted into ethyl alcohol or lactic acid (fermentation) in the cytoplasm.

Glycolysis is an anaerobic process that occurs in the cytosol or the cytoplasm of the cell. This process does not require any organelles to take place. The mitochondria is where the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain occur.

The process of glycolysis indeed occurs in the cytoplasm. Answer 'glycolysis can occur only with oxygen' is incorrect, because glycolysis can actually occur with or without oxygen, due to oxygen playing no role in glycolysis.

Answer 'glycolysis is the first step in anaerobic respiration but not aerobic respiration' is incorrect, because glycolysis is simply the first step in BOTH anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration.

Answer 'glycolysis leads to the production of 2 ATP, 1 NADH, and 2 pyruvate' is incorrect, because the end product of glycolysis is 2 NADH, not 1 NADH.

Answer 'glycolysis involves the production of G5P or glucose-5-phosphate' is incorrect, because glycolysis involves the production of G6P, not G5P.

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration, and creates molecules of ATP, pyruvate, and NADH. FADH2 is produced later, during the citric acid cycle. Both NADH and FADH2 serve as electron carriers, depositing electrons in the electron transport chain to generate the proton gradient that powers ATP synthase.

When the body isn't getting enough oxygen, it undergoes lactic acid fermentation. The purpose of lactic acid fermentation is so that your body can generate ATP through glycolysis by turning pyruvate into lactate and in the processes regenerating NAD+. Since lactate is poisonous, we eventually have to breathe. When oxygen combines with lactate it turns into lactic acid, which in turn causes muscle soreness.

Lactic acid is produced in animal cells when no oxygen is present in order to keep making ATP. Alcohol is produced in yeast cells in fermentation. Glucose is broken down in the entire cycle of respiration, and sucrose is a disaccharide.

The correct answer to this question is glycolysis.

We can know this if we remember that glycolysis is a ten step anaerobic, not aerobic pathway that uses the 6 carbon sugar known as glucose and converts it to 2 pyruvate molecules. All of the other answers do not use glucose and convert it to pyruvate.

Pyruvic acid is the three-carbon compound produced in glycolysis, the first stage in cellular respiration. Acetyl-CoA is a two-carbon molecule that is the result of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex that follows glycolysis. Glucose is broken down in respiration, and ribose is a five-carbon sugar in RNA.

Fermentation oxidizes molecules of NADH to NAD+ so the cell can have oxidizing agents for any subsequent glycolysis reactions. It does not, however, produce any usable energy in the process.

Fermentation leads to the production of ethanol in yeast cells and lactic acid in muscle cells.
