In glycolysis and the Krebs cycle,electrons are removed from glucose and taken up by molecules like NAD⁺.In such a reaction,glucose is being _____ and NAD⁺ is being ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In these reactions, glucose is being oxidized (losing electrons) and NAD+ is being reduced (gaining electrons). This is characteristic of oxidation-reduction reactions, also known as redox reactions. Therefore, choice B, where glucose is being oxidized and NAD+ is being reduced, is the correct answer.

In Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle,electrons Are Removed from Glucose
