question 3 0.75 pts match each description with one of the stages from the right side. produces pyruvate, atp, and nadh choose converts pyruvate to acetyl co - a choose produces co2, atp, nadh, and fadh2 choose where energy from nadh and fadh2 is converted into atp choose

Explanation:

1. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.
2. The conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl - CoA occurs in the transition reaction (also called pyruvate oxidation).
3. The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) oxidizes acetyl - CoA and produces CO2, ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
4. The electron - transport chain uses the energy from NADH and FADH2 to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer:

1. Produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH: Glycolysis
2. Converts pyruvate to Acetyl Co - A: Pyruvate oxidation (Transition reaction)
3. Produces CO2, ATP, NADH, and FADH2: Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)
4. Where energy from NADH and FADH2 is converted into ATP: Electron - transport chain
