Correct answer: A. Glycolysis
- A. Glycolysis
- B. Oxidative Phospholyration
- C. Electron Transport Chain
- D. Kreb's Cycle
- E. Calvin Cycle
Explanation
The process by which one molecule of glucose splits up into molecules of pyruvate is called glycolysis. Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, which occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. During glycolysis, a molecule of glucose, a six-carbon sugar, is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, each containing three carbon atoms.
