Which of the following four statements is/are accurate with respect to glycolysis?
a. glycolysis involves the conversion of monosaccharides into glucose.
b. glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate.
c. glycolysis involves the conversion of pyruvate into glucose to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
d. glycolysis involves the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl coa.

B. Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the biological process whereby one glucose molecule is broken down to two pyruvate molecules. There are a lot of enzymatic processes that are involved in this. It is one of the most important reactions in the world because it allows living cells to harness chemical energy from organic molecules

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
