Which of the following statements about glycolysis is correct?
A
Glycolysis involves a series of ten enzyme-controlled reactions that convert glucose into pyruvate.
B
Glycolysis occurs exclusively in the mitochondria of plant cells.
C
Fructose is converted directly into pyruvate without the involvement of glucose in glycolysis.
D
ATP is synthesized only during the final steps of glycolysis.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Glycolysis is a series of ten reactions that convert glucose into pyruvate, as stated in the NCERT context. It does not occur exclusively in the mitochondria but in the cytoplasm, and fructose does not bypass glucose in this pathway. ATP is utilized and synthesized at multiple steps, not only the final steps.
