HELP PLS!!

Match the following terms and definitions.

1. Glycolysis

2. electron transport chain

3. Krebs cycle

breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid and ATP

picks up hydrogens and produces ATP

produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

Answer 1

1. Glycolysis - breaks down glucose into pyruvate and ATP.

2. Electron Transport Chain - picks up Hydrogen and produces ATP.

3. Krebs Cycle - produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Glycolysis takes a molecule of glucose and breaks it down into two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate(G3P) which ends up as pyruvate producing 4 molecules of ATP ( two from each G3P molecule). However, there is technically a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

2. Electron Transport Chain - takes Hydrogen from energy-rich molecules, NADHH and FADH2, and produces ATP through a series of steps in the mitochondria.

3. Krebs Cycle - produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP from pyruvate oxidation which occurs in the mitochondrial matrix (in eukaryotes).
