GLYCOLYSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Finish the phrase:“As the bonds in glucose are ____ and rearranged, energy is ____ “
A
broken, released
B
built, trapped
C
broken, trapped
D
built, released
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within the mitochondria of plant and animal cells, the products from photosynthesis are used, and glucose is combined with oxygen and energy is released. When the bonds between the atoms are broken the atoms rearrange, forming CO2 and H2O. 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytosol of the cell and splits glucose into two other molecules, called pyruvate. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP AND NADH.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus the correct order of the stages in cellular respiration is: Glycolysis-Oxidative decarboxylation-Krebs cycle-Electron transport chain-Oxidative phosphorylation.
