How many glucose molecules are utilized if the cell produces 68 pyruvic acid molecules during glycolysis?

Options

  1. A1717
  2. B3434
  3. C5151
  4. D6868

Correct answer

B. 3434

Step-by-step solution

During glycolysis, one molecule of glucose is broken down to produce two molecules of pyruvic acid.

Number of glucose molecules utilized = Number of pyruvic acid molecules produced2\dfrac{\text{Number of pyruvic acid molecules produced}}{2}

Number of glucose molecules utilized = 682=34\dfrac{68}{2} = 34
