in which process is glucose oxidized to form two molecules of pyruvate?
answer
fermentation
electron transport chain
chemiosmosis
citric acid cycle
glycolysis
i dont know yet
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.
