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>

Jenny is trying to describe a wave. Which example would be the best description?
hoa [83]
<span>I believe the answer would be B - the toy car would hit another toy car that would in turn hit another toy car, and so on. A wave has a ripple effect, so it will continue to happen down the line, until there is a force that stops it, or there are no more cars to hit.</span>
