Question

Use your knowledge of the first three stages of cellular respiration to determine which explanation is correct.

Answer 1

It is easier to remove electrons and produce CO2 from compounds with three or more carbon atoms than from a two-carbon compound such as acetyl CoA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two-carbon acetyl group of acetyl CoA can be oxidized to two molecules of CO2, attaching the acetyl group to a four-carbon acid to produce a six-carbon acid is much more complicated (citrate). Citrate can then be oxidized in a series of reactions to produce two molecules of CO2.

Answer 2

Where are the options? btw,

2 ATP produced in each glycolysis and Krebs cycle whereas 32 in electron transport chain....
