Question

19. A cell is ready to break down pyruvate

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C. The cell followed Kreb's pathway.

Explanation:

Krebs cycle can be described as a metabolic pathway for the release of energy during the process of aerobic respiration. The Kreb's cycle constitutes a series of oxidation reactions through which pyruvate is converted into carbon dioxide. About 15 moles of ATP is released as a result of Kreb's cycle. The reactions of the Kreb's cycle take place mostly in the mitochondria. The Kreb's cycle is commonly named as the Citric Acid Cycle.
