4

What is the net ATP yield of glycolysis?

5

Why might glycolysis not proceed for an organism even when it is given glucose, , , and water?

6

During the energy investment phase of glycolysis, how many ATP are required to continue with the reactions per glucose molecule?

7

Which of the following is characteristic of hexokinase (as opposed to glucokinase)?
