The initial steps of glycolysis cost the cell energy (atp). a. true b. false

The above statement is true. The initial steps of glycolysis cost the cell energy. For example in the first step of glycolysis, the glucose is phosphorylated. This involves adding a phosphate group to a molecule of glucose , the phosphate is derived from ATP. Therefore, at this point in glycolysis, 1 molecule of ATP is consumed. 

Bis the correct answer.
