Following glycolysis and the Krebs cycle,but before the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation,the carbon skeleton of glucose has been broken down to CO₂ with some net gain of ATP.Most of the energy from the original glucose molecule at that point in the process,however,is in the form of _____.
A)acetyl-CoA
B)glucose
C)pyruvate
D)NADH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NADH is a high-energy molecule that contains a lot of the potential energy from the original glucose molecule at this point in the process. Acetyl-CoA is a product of the Krebs cycle, while glucose and pyruvate have already been broken down.
