The net ATP yield from glycolysis (glucose to pyruvate) is:

  • A 4 ATP
  • B 2 ATP
  • C 6 ATP
  • D 8 ATP

Correct answer: B. 2 ATP

Explanation: Glycolysis uses 2 ATP for activation steps and produces 4 ATP, giving a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecule, along with 2 NADH and 2 pyruvate.

Concept context

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain, fermentation, and the respiratory quotient. The cellular energy-release counterpart to photosynthesis.
