Question

Which letter(s) is/are incorrect.

A. The ATP produced in fermenation comes from glycolysis

B. Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP molecules

C. The Krebs cycle produces a maximum of 2 ATP per molecule of pyruvate

D. Plant cells do not have the capacity to use glucose in cellular respiration, because they get their energy from photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Plant cells do have the capacity to use glucose in cellular respiration, contradicting statement D. Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP molecules, and the Krebs cycle produces a maximum of 2 ATP per molecule of pyruvate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incorrect statement is: D. Plant cells do not have the capacity to use glucose in cellular respiration, because they get their energy from photosynthesis.

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration, which occurs in the cytoplasm of all cells, including plant cells. During glycolysis, glucose is broken down to produce ATP. The ATP produced in fermentation does come from glycolysis. Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP molecules by substrate-level phosphorylation. The Krebs cycle produces a maximum of 2 ATP per molecule of pyruvate.
