Question

complete the sentence using one of the following words: nadh, glucose, or pyruvate. the energy released during glycolysis is transferred to carrier molecules, atp and

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose. During glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate. Along with ATP (adenosine triphosphate), NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen) is also produced. NADH is an electron - carrier molecule that can transfer electrons to the electron - transport chain (in aerobic respiration) to generate more ATP. Glucose is the starting molecule of glycolysis, and pyruvate is the end - product (in the absence of oxygen, pyruvate can be further metabolized in fermentation; in aerobic conditions, it enters the citric acid cycle). So, the energy - carrying molecules produced during glycolysis along with ATP are NADH.

Answer:

NADH
