Genetic information is carried in ATP molecules?

ATP molecules carry energy, not genetic information. DNA carries genetic information. ATP does, however, contain a modified form of adenine, which is a base in DNA


Do you need ATP to get glycolysis started?

It releases the energy in Glucose. This helps form more ATP molecules


In what form does the Krebs cycle release energy?

The Krebs cycle releases energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. These ATP molecules are then used as a source of energy for cellular processes within the cells.


In glycolysis the first few steps require energy from two ATP molecules. The net gain of ATP molecules at the end of this pathway is?

The net gain of ATP molecules at the end of glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules. While 2 ATP molecules are consumed in the initial steps, a total of 4 ATP molecules are produced, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.


What produces 4 ATP but uses ATP?

Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs when a molecule donates a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP. This process generates 4 ATP molecules per glucose molecule during glycolysis, but it requires an initial input of 2 ATP molecules for activation.
