Does glycolysis make many ATPs

Best Answer

Glycolysis produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

Two ATP molecules are expended in the early stages of glycolysis, but 4 are later generated, so the net gain is 2 ATP.

This is a small number compared to the aerobic stage of cellular respiration, which probably produces about another 28 or 30 ATP molecules per glucose.
true... it gives out energy and oxygen

Glycolysis releases a small amount of energy if oxygen is present, but it leads to two other pathways that release a great deal of energy. If oxygen is not present, however, glycolysis is followed by a different pathway.

No, only 2 net ATPs are made. This is compared with the 30-32 made in oxidative phosphorylation.
