Suppose 9 glucose molecules enter glycolysis. Calculate the number of inorganic phosphate molecules required as well as the number of pyruvate molecules produced.

18 inorganic phosphates and 18 pyruvates.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the pathway involved in the metabolism of sugar. It is enzyme catalyze and converts glucose into pyruvate and a Hydrogen ion.

The free energy released are the used to form high-energy molecules such as ATP and NADH.

The net ATP production of Glycolysis involving a molecule of Glucose are 2 ATPs ,2 NADH and 2 pyruvates.

If 9 molecules of glucose enter glycolysis,then it has to be multiplied by 9 to give 18 pyruvates and 18 net ATPs

your answer is c) plasma
