Answer:

The correct answer is E) 10

Explanation:

Glucose is partially oxidized during the glycolysis process into two pyruvate molecules. Then these pyruvate molecules get totally oxidized into CO2 during the citric acid cycle. This citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of mitochondria.

During a single turn of the citric acid cycle, 2 molecules of carbon dioxide are released. Apart from two molecules of CO2, 3 molecules of NADH, 1 molecule of FADH2 and 1 molecule of ATP or GTP are also produced.

So if 2 molecules of CO2 are produced in one turn therefore in 5 turn 10 molecules of CO2 will be produced.

Bulls are a more extreme version of a cow. A cow is like a mother who cares for her children while a bull is like a rowdy person who does weird and unpredictable things at times. That's why when people hear the word wild cow, they don't usually get frightened but when they hear the word wild bull, they kind of get afraid.
