Solution

The step that does NOT require ATP is B. Conversion of malate to pyruvate. This is a step in the citric acid cycle and it does not require ATP, instead it generates NADH. The other options involve processes that require ATP either directly or indirectly.

Which statement about the production of pyruvate in the final step of glycolysis is CORRECT? A. Pyruvate kinase transfers a phosphate group from ATP to PEP to generate pyruvate and ADP. B. The unfavourable conversion of PEP to pyruvate is driven largely by the highly favourable standard free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP. C. The standard free energy change for the conversion of PEP to pyruvate is very highly favourable to counteract the unfavourable phosphorylation of ADP to ATP.
