  2. BDuring glycolysis glucose is converted into pyruvate or lactate with generation of 38 molecules of ATP per mol
  3. CGlycolysis provides energy to those cells which live without oxygen
  4. DIt occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell

Correct answer

B. During glycolysis glucose is converted into pyruvate or lactate with generation of 38 molecules of ATP per mol
