Right Answer is: E
SOLUTION
Glycolysis is a multi-step process that takes place in the cytoplasm, in which glucose (a six carbon sugar) is split into two molecules of the three-carbon sugar pyruvate with the generation of two molecules of ATP and two "high energy" electron carrying molecules of NADH.
The order of reactions in glycolysis are as follows:
Therefore, the correct sequence is IV, I, III, II
