Question

During ________________, a 6-carbon molecule is broken down into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules.

  1. Glycolysis
  2. Pyruvate oxidation
  3. Oxidative phosphorylation
  4. Citric acid cycle

hintHint:

In glycolysis,  glucose is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvate

The correct answer is: Glycolysis


    • Glycolysis is the process of breast down of six carbon compound glucose into two molecules of three carbon compound pyruvate 
    • It is the cytoplasmic process 
    • 2 molecules of ATP is released as energy
