Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Two molecules of ATP are used in the energy investment phase of glycolysis to convert glucose into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. In the energy payoff phase, four molecules of ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, resulting in a net production of two molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose oxidized in glycolysis.
