Biology
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

At end of glycolysis, two pyruvate molecules are formed which contain lots of energy that can be extracted by further processes.

<u>Oxidation of pyruvate converts pyruvate which is a molecule with three carbons into acetyl CoA which is a two-carbon molecule which is attached to Coenzyme with the production of NADH  and one carbon dioxide molecule is released in the oxidation process.</u>  

Acetyl CoA further acts as a fuel for citric acid cycle in next stage of cellular respiration.

<u>Pyruvate + Coenzyme A + NAD⁺ ⇒ acetyl CoA + CO₂ + NADH + H⁺</u>

<span>1: global warming can harm animals and plants in the ecosystem (even ourselves). global warming is when you litter and throw trash on the ground, and also the more trash that is sent to the dump can cause global warming to get worse. Trash in the ocean can harm animals, they can eat it and get sick, or get it caught on them. It makes our earth become warmer and energy levels change. It can also hurt our atmosphere.
