Question
  1. Review the following statements and discuss whether each one is correct, incorrect or partially correct:

 

 

Con

  • In the presence of oxygen glycolysis can yield a net production of 6 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.

 

 

 

 

  • In the presence of oxygen glycolysis can yield a net production of 8 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.

 

 

 

  • In the absence of oxygen glycolysis can yield a net production of 2 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.

 

 

 

 

  • In the absence of oxygen glycolysis can yield a net production of 4 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose
Expert Solution
Step 1

Glycolysis is a major metabolic pathway in which glucose is breaken down to pyruvate and forming ATP molecules,hence releasing energy.

Glycolysis can occur in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions depending on the availibility of oxygen and hence changing the output by having a differnce in net ATP molecules produced.
