Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the given information, the identifier "TB1882" indicates that this question is related to glycolysis (TB1882 is the gene ID for enolase, an enzyme involved in glycolysis). During the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate in glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are produced per molecule of phosphoenolpyruvate. Therefore, the theoretical maximum number of ATP molecules that could be produced in this reaction is 2. Thus, the correct answer is B.
