- BDuring glycolysis glucose is converted into pyruvate or lactate with generation of 38 molecules of ATP per mol
- CGlycolysis provides energy to those cells which live without oxygen
- 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
Step-by-step solution
