Question

match each step of carbohydrate catabolism to its description. electron transport chain citric acid cycle glycolysis 8 - step enzymatic process that converts 1 glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules 6 - step enzymatic process that oxidizes acetyl coa to yield high - energy electrons that can be used to power atp synthesis series of linked enzymes in the mitochondrial membrane that uses high - energy electrons to power atp synthesis

Explanation:

• Glycolysis is an 8 - step enzymatic process that converts 1 glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules.
• The citric acid cycle is a 6 - step enzymatic process that oxidizes acetyl CoA to yield high - energy electrons for ATP synthesis.
• The electron transport chain is a series of linked enzymes in the mitochondrial membrane using high - energy electrons for ATP synthesis.

Answer:

• "8 - step enzymatic process that converts 1 glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules" matches glycolysis.
• "6 - step enzymatic process that oxidizes acetyl CoA to yield high - energy electrons that can be used to power ATP synthesis" matches citric acid cycle.
• "Series of linked enzymes in the mitochondrial membrane that uses high - energy electrons to power ATP synthesis" matches electron transport chain.
