Question

Which sequence of events outlines the complete oxidation of glucose? ​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of events for the complete oxidation of glucose is glycolysis, TCA cycle, and electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, and it breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH. The pyruvate produced by glycolysis then enters the mitochondria where it is converted into acetyl-CoA and enters the TCA cycle generating more ATP and NADH. Finally, the NADH produced during glycolysis and the TCA cycle is transported to the electron transport chain, where it is oxidized to generate large amounts of ATP. Therefore, the correct sequence of events is glycolysis, TCA cycle, and electron transport chain, which is described in option B.
