Statement P: "Glycolysis is not regulated by pyruvate kinase" is incorrect. Pyruvate kinase is indeed involved in the regulation of glycolysis. It catalyzes an important step in the pathway and its activity is regulated by various factors such as allosteric regulation and post-translational modifications.

Statement R: "Glycolysis cannot function anaerobically" is also incorrect. Glycolysis is capable of functioning anaerobically, in the absence of oxygen. In anaerobic conditions, glycolysis can proceed through fermentation, which allows for the production of ATP.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
