During the 'preparatory phase' of glycolysis, how many ATP molecules are consumed for one molecule of glucose?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2
Two molecules of ATP are used during the phosphorylation steps of glycolysis. Specifically, they are used in the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.
