In Steps 6 Through 10 of Glycolysis, the Conversion of 1

Multiple Choice

In steps 6 through 10 of glycolysis, the conversion of 1 mole of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to pyruvate yields 2 moles of ATP.But the oxidation of glucose to pyruvate produces a total of 4 moles of ATP.Where do the remaining 2 moles of ATP come from?

A) One mole of glucose yields 2 moles of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
B) Two moles of ATP are used during the conversion of glucose to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
C) Glycolysis produces 2 moles of NADH.
D) Fermentation of pyruvate to lactic acid yields 2 moles of ATP.
E) Fermentation of pyruvate to lactic acid yields 2 moles of NAD⁺.
