True or False, The production of ATP during glycolysis is via the process of oxidative phosphorylation?

I would go with False because I don't think oxygen is even involved in cellular respiration until the citric acid cycle, right?True or False, The production of ATP during glycolysis is via the process of oxidative phosphorylation?
You are correct about it. The ATP produced in glycolysis is made via substrate-level phosphorylation. The NADH produced in glycolysis may be converted to ATP by oxidative phosphorylataion, but it may be converted back to NAD+ during fermentation.
