Answer 1

Which of the following statements regarding the glycolysis pathway is FALSE?

E) One molecule of ATP is expended.

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway where organisms extract their energy in the form of ATP during the conversion of glucose into pyruvate and lactate.

It is controlled by the properties of three regulatory enzymes namely hexo-kinase, phospho-fructokinase 1 and pyruvate kinase.
