Imagine that a eukaryotic cell carries a mutation impairing its ability to phosphorylate glucose during glycolysis. What is a likely result of this mutation? Glucose could move out of the cell, slowing cellular respiration. Because phosphorylation stabilizes glucose, glucose would spontaneously form pyruvate. High (possibly toxic) levels of glucose would accumulate in the cell. Without the phosphorylation of glucose, glycolysis would consist entirely of exergonic reactions. More pyruvate would be formed at the end of glycolysis.

false (In stage 1, glucose is partially broken down to make pyruvate and energy is transferred to ATP and reduced electron carriers, a process known as glycolysis. In stage 2, pyruvate is oxidized to another molecule called acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), producing reduced electron carriers and releasing carbon dioxide.
