production by glycolysis - Answer✔Identify all correct statements about the basic function of
fermentation.
glucose → glycolysis → pyruvate oxidation → citric acid cycle → electron transport chain -
Answer✔Which of the following sequences represents the correct order in which metabolic
reactions occur during the complete oxidation of glucose through aerobic respiration?
one of the atoms sharing electrons is more electronegative than the other - Answer✔A covalent
bond is likely to be polar when
It is retained in two pyruvate molecules - Answer✔Upon completion of glycolysis, what is the
fate of the majority of the potential energy contained in the original glucose molecule?
2 NADH, 2 pyruvate, and 2 ATP - Answer✔Glycolysis results in a net production of which of the
following molecules from each molecule of glucose?
citric acid cycle → NADH → electron transport chain → oxygen - Answer✔Inside an active
mitochondrion, most electrons follow which of the following pathways?
Early steps consume energy from ATP, and later steps store an increased amount of energy in
