Question

1. observe: click next. what happens now? 16. observe: click next. what happens in the mitochondrion? → read this! this process is called glycolysis. two pyruvate (c₃h₃o₃⁻) molecules are produced in glycolysis. the released energy is used to form a net of two atp (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. energy is later released when atp molecules are broken down.

Explanation:

In mitochondria, cellular respiration processes like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur. Pyruvate from glycolysis enters the mitochondria. There, it is further broken - down to release more energy in the form of ATP through a series of redox reactions.

Answer:

In the mitochondrion, pyruvate from glycolysis is further oxidized. The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) occurs, where pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide, and high - energy electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) are produced. These electron carriers then donate their electrons to the electron transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Through oxidative phosphorylation, a large amount of ATP is generated using the energy from the electron transfer.
