Match the following terms and definitions.


1.glycolysis


picks up hydrogens and produces ATP


2.electron transport chain



breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid and ATP


3.Krebs cycle


produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

Verified Answer :


1.glycolysis=breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid and ATP

2.electron transport chain=produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

3.Krebs cycle 
picks up hydrogens and produces ATP 

Answer:

1. Glycolysis:  breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid and ATP

  1. Electron transport chain: picks up hydrogens and produces ATP


3.Krebs cycle:  produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

Explanation:

1. Glycolysis: It is a common process for both arerobic and anaerobic respiration in whcih one molecule of glucose (6-carbon)  is converted into two molecules of pyruvic acid (3-Carbon). Net gain of 2 ATP during glycolysis and it occurs in cytoplasm of the cell.  

2. Electron transport chain: It is the terminal step of aerobic respiration. It occurs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria where reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂ are oxidized and oxygen is final electron acceptor. ATPs are released.

3. Krebs cycle: Enzymatic reaction whcih occurs in the mitochondiarl matrix. In Krebs cycle, carbon dioxide, water, reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂and ATP are produced.
