Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In aerobic conditions, the process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecule of pyruvate ( pyruvic acid ), generating energy in the form of two net molecules of ATP. Four molecules of ATP per glucose are actually produced, however, two are consumed as part of the preparatory phase.
