Question

match each stage of cellular respiration with its function. oxidative phosphorylation glycolysis krebs cycle converts pyruvate to acetyl - coa and further to co₂, nadh, fadh₂, and atp breaks down simple sugar to produce atp, nadh, and the three - carbon intermediate produces the most atp

Explanation:

Glycolysis breaks down glucose (a simple sugar) to produce ATP, NADH and pyruvate (a three - carbon intermediate). The Krebs cycle converts pyruvate to acetyl - CoA and then further to CO₂, NADH, FADH₂, and a small amount of ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation uses the energy from NADH and FADH₂ to produce the most ATP.

Answer:

• Glycolysis: breaks down simple sugar to produce ATP, NADH, and the three - carbon intermediate
• Krebs cycle: converts pyruvate to acetyl - CoA and further to CO₂, NADH, FADH₂, and ATP
• Oxidative phosphorylation: produces the most ATP
