Answer:
letter d/alcohol and carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Three Metabolic Processes:
Glycolysis is the process of breaking down a 6 - carbon sugar and glucose into two molecules of a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvate. This change is accompanied by a net gain of 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules.
Krebs Cycle which occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of chemical energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH₂) from the oxidation of pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses carbon dioxide to form acetyl - CoA, a 2-carbon molecule. When acetyl - CoA is oxidized to carbon dioxide in the Krebs cycle, chemical energy is released and captured in the form NADH, FADH₂, and ATP.
Electron Transport Chain that allows the release of the large amount of chemical energy stored in reduced NAD+ (NADH) and reduced FAD (FADH₂). The energy released is captured in the form of ATP (3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH₂).
