Question
The diagram shows a model of glycolysis.
The process of glycolysis, the breaking down a six-carbon glucose molecule into 2 pyruvic acid molecules, is shown.
During glycolysis, what is the source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP?
A. the chemical bonds in pyruvic acid
B. the chemical bonds in glucose
C. the nuclei of atoms in glucose
D. high-energy electrons in the cytoplasm

The source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP during glycolysis is:
**B. the chemical bonds in glucose.**
During glycolysis, glucose is broken down, and the energy stored in its chemical bonds is released and used to produce ATP.
**B. the chemical bonds in glucose.**
During glycolysis, glucose is broken down, and the energy stored in its chemical bonds is released and used to produce ATP.
