Which of the following sequences describes the path by which electrons move from high-energy to lower-energy molecules in aerobic respiration?
A) glucose → NADH → electron transport chain → oxygen
B) glucose → pyruvate → ATP → oxygen
C) glucose → pyruvate → electron transport chain → NADH → ATP
D) food → glycolysis → citric acid cycle → NADH → ATP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In aerobic respiration, electrons are transferred from glucose to NADH during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. NADH then donates these electrons to the electron transport chain, where they move through a series of redox reactions to a final electron acceptor, oxygen, resulting in the production of water. This process is coupled with the generation of ATP.
