Botany-Glycolysis
NEET Botany Glycolysis MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11
Which of the following statements about glycolysis are correct?
A
ATP is synthesized at multiple steps during glycolysis.
B
Glycolysis occurs exclusively in the mitochondria of plant cells.
C
Hexokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.
D
Fructose-6-phosphate is formed directly from glucose without isomerization.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In glycolysis, ATP is indeed synthesized at multiple steps, and hexokinase is responsible for the phosphorylation of glucose. However, glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm, not exclusively in the mitochondria, and glucose must isomerize to fructose-6-phosphate before further metabolism.
