Question on: JAMB Biology - 2024
The total number of ATP produced during glycolysis is
A
3 molecules
B
2 molecules
C
4 molecules
D
6 molecules
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Here's the breakdown:1. ATP Production in Glycolysis: Glycolysis produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.2. Total ATP Produced: While 4 ATP molecules are produced during glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules are also used up in the initial steps.3. ** Net Gain:** 4 (produced) - 2 (used) = 2, but the prompt asks for the total produced during glycolysis and so the correct answer would be 4.
