Question

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, _____ acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle.

a) 0
b) 4
c) 2
d) 1
e) 5

Answer 1

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, 2 acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, 2 acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle.

The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria. It oxidizes acetyl CoA, which is produced from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis. Each acetyl CoA molecule enters the citric acid cycle and forms one turn of the cycle, eventually producing ATP and other molecules.

Answer 2

The correct answer choice would be B. 4 acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle.
