question 8 of 20
cellular respiration consumes glucose during glycolysis.
what product of glycolysis can be subsequently modified to enter the citric acid cycle under aerobic conditions?
nadh
lactic acid
acetyl - coa
adp
pyruvate

Explanation:

Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate, a product of glycolysis, is transported into the mitochondria. It is then converted to acetyl - CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Acetyl - CoA enters the citric acid cycle. NADH is an electron - carrier produced in glycolysis but does not directly enter the citric acid cycle. Lactic acid is a product of anaerobic glycolysis. ADP is a substrate in energy - related reactions and not a product of glycolysis that directly enters the citric acid cycle.

Answer:

E. pyruvate
