Glucose is a simple sugаr easily used by cells to produce energy. v is the process that breaks the 6 carbon glucose into a three carbon pyruvate. The process takes place in the v. The citric acid cycle uses as a starting point the 2 carbon molecule v that can be obtained from the breakdown of fat, sugars, or proteins. The products of the citric acid cycle include (name one) v which serves as an electron donor for the electron transport chain. The electron chain produces a v gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, using vas the final electron acceptor. This energy is then used to make the energy currency of the body using a special membrane bound enzyme.

Answer 1

1. Glycolysis is the process that breaks the 6 carbon glucose into a three carbon pyruvate.
2. The process takes place in the cytoplasm.
3. Citric acid cycle uses as a starting point a 2 carbon molecule called acetyl Co-A.
4. The products of citric acid cycle includes NADH which acts as an electron donor in electron transport chain.
5. The electron chain creates a proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, using oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
6. This energy is then used to create ATP, the final energy currency of the cells.
