Question

which of the following is true of glycolysis? it occurs in the matrix of mitochondria. it produces co₂. it produces atp via oxidative phosphorylation. it involves the reduction of nad+. i dont know yet

Explanation:

• Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, not the mitochondrial matrix.
• It does not produce \(CO_2\); that happens in the citric acid cycle.
• ATP in glycolysis is produced via substrate - level phosphorylation, not oxidative phosphorylation (which occurs in the electron transport chain).
• During glycolysis, \(NAD^+\) is reduced to \(NADH\).

Answer:

It involves the reduction of \(NAD^+\).
