Statement I: Inside a cell, the glucose molecule is oxidised not in one step but in several small steps.
Statement II: Some steps will be just large enough such that energy liberated can be coupled to ATP synthesis.
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

In glycolysis, ATP is synthesised:
1. during conversion of 1,3 biphosphoglyceric acid to 3-phosphoglyceric acid and during conversion of phosphoenolpuruvate to pyruvic acid
2. during conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phospate and during conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose – 1,6- biphosphate
3. during conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phospate and during conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6- phosphate
4. during conversion of 3-phosphoglyceric acid to 2-phosphoglycerate and during conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpuruvate
