The term glycolysis refers to the conversion of:
Correct answer: B. Glucose to Pyruvate
- A. Pyruvate to Glucose
- B. Glucose to Pyruvate
- C. Citric acid to CO2
- D. Both Pyruvate to Glucose and Glucose to Pyruvate
Explanation
The term "glycolysis" refers to the conversion of glucose into pyruvate. Glycolysis is the initial stage of cellular respiration, and it takes place in the cytoplasm of cells. The process involves a series of enzymatic reactions that break down one molecule of glucose, a six-carbon sugar, into two molecules of pyruvate, each containing three carbon atoms.

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.
