A

Phosphoenolpyruvate

17
Q

Phosphoenolpyruvate is converted to pyruvate by…

A

Pyruvate kinase

18
Q

In step X, pyruvate is produced and a phosphate is transferred to…

A

ADP converting it to ATP!

19
Q

Glycolysis yields how many ATP (net) per glucose molecule?

A

2

Gross
(+2) * 2 = +4 | Multiplied by 2 as 2 G-3-P per glucose

Net
+4-2 = 2 | Subtract 2 as 2ATP used in investment phase

20
Q

Which of these statements concerning glycolysis is false?

a) Gross ATP produced is 4
b) ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation
c) NADH is required
d) ADP is required

A

c) NADH is required ❌

NAD+ is required, NADH is produced
