What molecule from food is the primary reactant for glycolysis?

Sourav PanDecember 13, 2024

Answered step-by-step

The primary molecule from food that enters glycolysis is glucose, which can come from carbohydrates in the diet. Glucose is either absorbed directly from the blood or stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, where it can be released and used as fuel for glycolysis. Fatty acids and proteins can also contribute to energy production, but glucose is the main reactant for glycolysis.
