Which of the following is the process in which glucose is oxidized to generate two molecules of pyruvate and in which ATP and NADH are produced?
A
Chemiosmosis
B
Fermentation
C
The oxidation of pyruvate
D
The citric acid cycle
E
None of the listed responses is correct.
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the process described in the problem: the oxidation of glucose to generate pyruvate, ATP, and NADH.
Recall that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway responsible for breaking down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, while also producing ATP and NADH.
Understand that glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is the first step in cellular respiration.
Note that none of the options provided in the problem (Chemiosmosis, Fermentation, The oxidation of pyruvate, The citric acid cycle) accurately describe glycolysis.
Conclude that the correct answer is indeed not listed among the provided options, as glycolysis is the process being described.
