Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the main energy carrying molecule going from glycolysis to aerobic respiration?
A
ATP
B
Mr. Lin’s imaginary bear
C
NADH
D
pyruvate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electron transport from the molecules of NADH and FADH2 made from glycolysis, the transformation of pyruvate, and the Krebs cycle creates as many as 32 more ATP molecules. Therefore, a total of up to 36 molecules of ATP can be made from just one molecule of glucose in the process of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration Glucose is the molecule normally used for respiration-it is the main respiratory substrate . Glucose is oxidised to release its energy, which is then stored in ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first stage of cellular respiration, called glycolysis, takes place in the cytoplasm. In this step, enzymes split a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, which releases energy that is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -1: Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules: Glycolysis, or the aerobic catabolic breakdown of glucose, produces energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which itself enters the citric acid cycle to produce more energy.
