Question

which product of glycolysis is transported across the mitochondrial membrane, where it is converted to the molecule that enters the citric acid cycle? acetyl coa glucose nadh + h+ pyruvate atp synthase

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate. Pyruvate is transported across the mitochondrial membrane and converted to acetyl - CoA which enters the citric acid cycle. ATP synthase is an enzyme, not a product of glycolysis. NADH + H⁺ is a by - product of glycolysis but not the one that directly enters the citric acid cycle after crossing the mitochondrial membrane. Glucose is the starting molecule of glycolysis, not a product.

Answer:

B. Pyruvate
