Glycolysis
High-Yield Trend
Questions 5 MCQs
The overall goal of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport system is the formation of:
1. ATP in small stepwise units.
2. ATP in one large oxidation reaction
3. Sugars
4. Nucleic acids
Conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, the first irreversible reaction of glycolysis, is catalyzed by:
| 1. | Phosphofructokinase | 2. | Aldolase |
| 3. | Hexokinase | 4. | Enolase |
| 1. | Eight | 2. | Four |
| 3. | Six | 4. | Two |
| Assertion (A): | ATP is used at two steps in glycolysis. |
| Reason (R): | First ATP is used in converting glucose into glucose-6-phosphate and second ATP is used in conversion of fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1-6-diphosphate. |
| 1. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |

Preparing Glycolysis for NEET
Glycolysis is a specific sub-topic that frequently appears in the NEET examination. Understanding the underlying principles and practicing targeted questions is key to mastering this concept.
The questions compiled above are previous year questions (PYQs) directly related to Glycolysis. Practicing these specific questions helps you understand the difficulty level and the examiner's approach to this topic.
Topic Frequently Asked Questions
Is Glycolysis a high-weightage topic?
You can refer to the priority and consistency badges at the top of this page. High priority topics should be thoroughly revised multiple times before the exam.
Should I memorize the solutions?
No, it is highly recommended to understand the core concept and methodology behind each solution rather than memorizing them, as exact questions are rarely repeated, but the concepts definitely are.
