The Complete Breakdown of Glucose Occurs in the Sequence Of

Question

The complete breakdown of glucose occurs in the sequence of
A)glycolysis,TCA cycle,electron transport chain.
B)glycolysis,electron transport chain,Krebs cycle.
C)fermentation,glycolysis,TCA cycle.
D)lipolysis,glycolysis,proteolysis.
E)glycolysis,lipolysis,proteolysis.

Accepted Answer

The breakdown of glucose is a complex process that occurs through several biochemical pathways. The correct sequence of events involves glycolysis, followed by the TCA (Krebs) cycle, and finally, the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, while the TCA cycle occurs in the mitochondria. The electron transport chain occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This sequence of events produces ATP and CO2 as byproducts. Option A is the correct answer as it provides the correct breakdown sequence.
