Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NAD carries high energy electrons to the electron transport system.

Answer: D
 Acetyl coenzyme A carries high energy electrons to the electron transport system through the citric acid cycle.

Answer: H
 The electron transport system receives high energy electrons from NAD and FADH2 and uses them to produce ATP.

Answer: J
 Glycolysis is the process that breaks down glucose to produce pyruvate, which can then enter the citric acid cycle and produce more ATP.

Answer: G
 Lactate is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, which occurs when there is not enough oxygen to support the electron transport system.
