Q: The breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid is called-
  • A. Glycolysis
  • B. Glucogenesis
  • C. Glycogenolysis
  • D. Glycogenolysis
Correct Answer: Option A - Glycolysis is a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into three carbon molecules called pyruvates. During glycolysis, glucose ultimately break down into pyruvate and energy, a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis in glucose 6-phoshate.
