Question

___________ is a series of biochemical reactions that cells use to break down glucose into pyruvate and to release its chemical energy.

Answer 1

glycolysis

Answer 2

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration which I assume is the subject at hand in which you are currently studying. When you eat each molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate in a process called glycolysis. It uses 2 ATP and forms 4 ATP for a net gain of 2 ATP. Next step it goes to the Kreb's Cycle and then the ETC (electron transport chain) in which provides a net gain 36 ATP to be used for energy.

Good luck studying this.

Answer 3

Glycolysis.

Answer 4

IT IS GLYCOLYSIS

Answer 5

Yup, smarties is right.
