Question

Which is not true for glycolysis?

• A. End product is $C{O}_2,H_{2}O$
• B. Substrate level phosphorylation
• C. Production of ATP
• D. Expenditure of ATP

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The process of glycolysis does not require $O_2$ and takes place in the cytoplasm. During the whole process of glycolysis, one molecule of glucose $(6C)$ is converted into two pyruvic acid molecules $(3C)$, two ATP are used and $4$ ATP are evolved. Substrate level phosphorylation is also taken place.
