Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration and is an anaerobic process. During glycolysis, glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvic acid. How is glycolysis kept functioning during cellular respiration?
A Two high-energy electrons are passed to the carrier NADH, which transports electrons back to glycolysis.
O
B. Two molecules of ATP from the cell are invested at the beginning of the process of glycolysis.
C. Pyruvic acid from glycolysis reacts to form acetyl-CoA, which then combines with a four-carbon compound in the Krebs cycle and re-enters
glycolysis.
D. Hydrogen ions pass back across the mitochondrial membrane through chemiosmosis and re-enter glycolysis.
