Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is the metabolic process in which oxygen is used to breakdown carbohydrates, fats and proteins to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mitochondria are the ‘engine room’ of eukaryotic organisms, as they are the main site of cellular respiration.

Answer:

The factor hat glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain have in common is:

A) the production of ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasons behind the answer are:

Glycolysis unlike the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain occurs outside the mitochondria.

All of them are procedures carried on to achieve cellular respiration however not all of them are involved in trapping solar energy. Also, they don't break sugar molecules in the same way. So, the only correct fact here is that all of them produce ATP even when they do it by different processes and different places.
