Question

Which group of small molecules best fit the boxes associated with the reaction shown?  
A) I 
B) II 
C) III 
D) IV

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two boxes associated with the reaction shown are "reactants" and "products." We can see that the reactants consist of a six-carbon sugar (glucose) and six molecules of oxygen (O2). The products are six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and six molecules of water (H2O).

Group I consists of molecules that can break down glucose through cellular respiration, producing CO2 and H2O as waste products. This group includes molecules such as ATP, NADH, FADH2, and pyruvate.

Therefore, Group I best fits the boxes associated with the reaction shown.
