Question
The oxidation of glucose to two molecules each of pyruvate, ATP, and NADH is called .......... and occurs in the ..........
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The process described is glycolysis. It is the first stage of cellular respiration, where one molecule of glucose (6C) is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (3C). This process occurs in the cytoplasm (cytosol) of the cell and produces a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
Hint
This universal pathway breaks down glucose in the cell's main fluid.
