Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose (a six - carbon molecule) into two three - carbon molecules of pyruvate. Fermentation occurs after glycolysis (in the absence of oxygen) but does not directly oxidize glucose to pyruvate. The electron transport chain is involved in oxidative phosphorylation and uses electrons from electron carriers. Chemiosmosis is the process of ATP synthesis using a proton gradient. The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) uses acetyl - CoA (derived from pyruvate) as its starting material.

Answer:

Glycolysis
