Answer:

B) Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)

Explanation:

Glycolysis breaks glucose into two pyruvate molecules. Pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetyl CoA and the reaction occurs in the matrix of mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, acetyl CoA enters Kreb's cycle and is broken down into CO2 and H2O. For one molecule of acetyl CoA, two molecules of CO2 are released as a by-product. Therefore, out of three carbon atoms of pyruvate, two are released as CO2 during Kreb's cycle.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Fungi

Explanation:

Fungi are an example of saprotrophs i.e. organisms who live and feed on dead organic matter. Saprotrophic nutrition is described as chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion. It involves the extracellular release of digestive enzymes on the organic matter. The enzymes break down the organic matter into a simpler form, which is then absorbed by the fungus.
