MCQ
Why does glycolysis occur in anaerobic organisms as the sole pathway?
  • A. It does not require oxygen
  • B. It takes place in mitochondria
  • C. It requires COβ‚‚
  • D. It only functions in prokaryotes
βœ… Correct Answer: A
Glycolysis functions in the absence of oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration.
MCQ
Why is the glycolytic pathway considered energy investing in its early steps?
  • A. It uses NADH
  • B. It releases COβ‚‚
  • C. It breaks pyruvate
  • D. It consumes ATP
βœ… Correct Answer: D
Two ATP molecules are consumed before ATP generation begins.

MCQ
Why is NAD⁺ essential for glycolysis to continue?
  • A. It is the final electron acceptor
  • B. It generates ATP
  • C. It accepts electrons from PGAL
  • D. It phosphorylates fructose
βœ… Correct Answer: C
PGAL is oxidized by NAD⁺ to form NADH + H⁺, allowing energy yield.
MCQ
Why is fructose-1,6-bisphosphate a key regulatory point in glycolysis?
  • A. It initiates ATP production
  • B. It signals the split into two 3C molecules
  • C. It generates NADH directly
  • D. It is the end product of glycolysis
βœ… Correct Answer: B
F1,6BP cleaves into DHAP and PGAL, the two parallel 3-carbon intermediates.
MCQ
Which of the following is the key deciding factor for the metabolic fate of pyruvate?
  • A. Oxygen availability
  • B. Temperature
  • C. pH
  • D. Light intensity
βœ… Correct Answer: A
Presence or absence of oxygen determines if pyruvate undergoes fermentation or aerobic respiration.
