What happens to the glucose molecule in the first step of glycolysis?
Question 3 options:
Two phosphate groups are attached and glucose is split into two 3 carbon compounds.
Two glucose molecules are joined by a phosphate group from ATP.
ADP is converted to ATP as two phosphate groups are removed from the glucose molecule.
Two ATP molecules are removed from the glucose molecule as it splits into three 2 carbon compounds.
