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 to pyruvate. Along with ATP production, \(NAD^+\) is reduced to \(NADH\) (which is an energy - carrying molecule). Glucose is the starting molecule of glycolysis, not a product in terms of energy - carrying molecules formed during the energy - transfer part of the process. Pyruvate is the end - product of glycolysis in terms of carbon - containing molecules, but \(NADH\) is one of the energy - carrying molecules (along with ATP) that gets energy from the glycolytic reactions.

Answer:

\(NADH\)
