Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyruvic acid is the end product of glycolysis.

Answer: A
 Cytosol is the location where glycolysis occurs.

Answer: B
 The citric acid cycle takes place in the mitochondria and is the second stage of cellular respiration after glycolysis.

Answer: D
 Acetyl coenzyme A is produced during the transition reaction between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.

Answer: E
 NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule that carries electrons during cellular respiration.

Answer: F
 The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and the site of most ATP production through cellular respiration.

Answer: G
 Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic respiration and is produced when there is not enough oxygen available to fully metabolize glucose.

Answer: H
 The electron transport chain is the final stage of cellular respiration and involves the movement of electrons to produce a proton gradient that powers ATP synthase.

Answer: I
 Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Answer: J
 Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration and takes place in the cytosol of the cell.
