ATP provides energy to break down glucose during glycolysis.
The 3-carbon molecule produced when glucose is broken in half in glycolysis is pyruvic acid. It gives energy to living cells through the Krebs cycle.
Pyruvic acid, also called pyruvate, is produced during glycolysis when the glucose molecule is split.
During glycolysis, there are approximately 2 hydrogen molecules made; however during cellular respiration, approximately 32-36 hydrogen molecules are made.
During glycolysis it makes a net amount of 2 molecules of ATP. Fermentation happens anaerobically (without oxygen) and the reduction of pyruvate into lactate itself does not yield any ATP. But I think the answer you are looking for is 2 ATP.
Glycolysis is a cells way of taking in glucose braking it down for energy. This can be done with oxygen or aerobic or without anaerobic. This anaerobic process are cyclic and carry on without oxygen. This can be the process of fermantation or lactic acid cycle.
Answer D - the initial breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
Actually glucose is what sugar turns in to during glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the process during which glucose is broken in half, and produces pyruvic acid (3-carbon compound)
Glucose
During the process of glycolysis, glucose is turned into two molecules of pyruvic acid. Glucose is a sugar that is an energy source important to living organisms.
Glycolysis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycolysis
In glycolysis two net molecules of ATP are formed. Four ATP are formed but two are required in the initial activation of glucose.
Glycolysis is inherent in the process of respiration. The cell requires glucose and oxygen during glycolysis and water is the by-product
During glycolysis, the overall gain of ATP per glucose molecule is 2. While glycolysis produces 4 ATPs, it uses 2 ATPs in the process.
