The process by which a small amount of the energy in a glucose molecule is released as it is converted into two small organic acid molecules is
A)photolysis.
B)glycolysis.
C)oxidative phosphorylation.
D)substrate-level phosphorylation.
E)the Krebs cycle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described matches the steps of glycolysis, in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, with a net production of two ATP and two NADH. Photolysis is the process of light breaking down molecules, oxidative phosphorylation involves the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, and the Krebs cycle involves the breakdown of pyruvate into CO2 and production of NADH and FADH2.
