The first step in glycolysis is the transfer of the phosphate group from ATP to glucose. Which product is formed by this reaction?
Correct answer: B. Glucose-6-Phosphate
- A. Fructose-1-phosphate
- B. Glucose-6-Phosphate
- C. Fructose-6-phosphate
- D. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
Explanation
This is the direct product formed when a phosphate group is transferred from ATP to Glucose 6 phosphate in the first step of glycolysis.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
