Question

Which of the following identifies the function of glycolysis within the entire process of cellular respiration?

Breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules
Reforms NAD+ and FAD to reuse in other parts of respiration
Sends energy-rich molecules to electron transport chain
Converts ADP to ATP for use as cellular energy

Answer 1

Answer: The answer should be A) Breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules!!!!!

Answer 2

The correct answer is that it breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.

Glycolysis refers to an array of reactions, which extract energy from glucose by dissociating it into two three molecules of carbon known as pyruvates. In the species, which goes through the process of cellular respiration, glycolysis is the initial phase of the process.

However, the process does not need oxygen, thus various anaerobic species can also do the process.
