Which of the following is a series of reactions in which glucose is degraded to pyruvate and electrons are transferred to carriers?

A) Formation of acetyl CoA
B) Citric acid cycle
C) Glycolysis
D) Decarboxylations
E) Electron transport and chemiosmosis

Electron Carriers

Molecules that transport electrons during cellular respiration and photosynthesis, playing a key role in energy production.

Glycolysis

is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH, occurring in the cytoplasm of cells.

Glucose

A key energy-yielding sugar present in living organisms and a constituent of many carbohydrate structures.

  • Describe the procedure and effects of glycolysis, including the relevant substances and the amount of energy generated.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, with the concomitant transfer of electrons to NAD+, forming NADH. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and does not require oxygen.
