Answer;

Exergonic pathway.

Although glycolysis requires an input of atp, this pathway results in a net gain of two atp; therefore, it is exergonic pathway.


Step-by-step explanation;

An exergonic pathway refers to a pathway where energy is released. Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose to produce two pyruvate molecules. Overall, glycolysis is an exergonic reaction as it releases more energy than the energy utilized in the process.

Although glycolysis requires an input of Adenosine triphosphate, this pathway results in a net gain of two Adenosine triphosphate. Therefore, it is exergonic pathway.

A series of reaction in metabolism is called pathway.

A chemical reaction when there is a negative free energy within the changes currently present showing continuous reaction.
