Splitting of glucose relates to_________?
Correct answer: C. glycolysis
- A. respiration
- B. photorespiration
- C. glycolysis
- D. pyruvic acid
Explanation
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway in which one glucose molecule is split into two three-carbon molecules of pyruvate. Respiration is the broader process, while pyruvic acid is a product rather than the name of the splitting pathway. Students often choose respiration because glucose breakdown occurs during respiration, but that answer is too general.
