Which of the Following are the Final Products of Aerobic

Question

Which of the following are the final products of aerobic catabolism?
A)pyruvate and H₂O
B)acetyl-CoA and CO₂
C)CO₂ and H₂O
D)pyruvate and acetyl-CoA

Accepted Answer

Aerobic catabolism results in the complete oxidation of glucose to CO₂ and H₂O through the processes of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, the final products of aerobic catabolism are CO₂ and H₂O. Choices A, B, and D are intermediate products of aerobic catabolism but are not the final products.
