Which statement describes what happens with ATP during glycolysis? A) more ATP is produced than is used

B) glycolysis splits ATP

C) more ATP is used than is produced

D) glycolysis does not make any ATP

A. more ATP is produced than used

Explanation:

Regulation of glycolysis

Several steps in glycolysis are regulated, but the most important control point is the third step of the pathway, which is catalyzed by an enzyme called phosphofructokinase (PFK). This reaction is the first committed step, making PFK a central target for regulation of the glycolysis pathway as a whole^1

PFK is regulated by ATP, an ADP derivative called AMP, and citrate, as well as some other molecules we won't discuss here.

ATP. ATP is a negative regulator of PFK, which makes sense: if there is already plenty of ATP in the cell, glycolysis does not need to make more.

AMP. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a positive regulator of PFK. When a cell is very low on ATP, it will start squeezing more ATP out of ADP molecules by converting them to ATP and AMP (ADP + ADP \rightarrow→right arrow ATP + AMP). High levels of AMP mean that the cell is starved for energy, and that glycolysis must run quickly to replenish ATP^2
