Final answer:
Option A: electron transport and chemiosmosis is incorrect because it lists NAD+ and FAD as products when they should actually be NADH and FADH2. The correct option is A. electron transport and chemiosmosis—ATP, H₂O, NAD+, FAD
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which process does not match the products listed. First, we have to understand the basics of each cellular respiration process and its products.
Glycolysis produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH, hence option D correctly matches the process with its products. In the formation of acetyl CoA, Acetyl CoA, CO2, and NADH are produced, making option C a correct match. The citric acid cycle generates CO2, NADH, and FADH2, and also a molecule of ATP (or GTP), which means option B is correct. Finally, electron transport and chemiosmosis lead to the production of ATP and H2O, with the oxidation of NADH back to NAD+, and FADH2 back to FAD. However, the actual product is FADH2, not FAD.
Therefore, the process that does not correctly match the products is option A: electron transport and chemiosmosis, which incorrectly lists NAD+ and FAD as products instead of NADH and FADH2. The correct option is A. electron transport and chemiosmosis—ATP, H₂O, NAD+, FAD
