Arteries are blood vessels responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood low in oxygen from the body back to the heart for reoxygenation. ... They're part of two closed systems of tubes that begin and end at the heart. I hope this helps. Have a great day. ☺️

What process occurs in Box A?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The process occurring in Box A is Glycolysis

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the pathway by which glucose, a six-carbon molecule is oxidized to molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon molecule with the release of ATP and electrons which are carried by NADH molecules.

The process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and requires 10 glycolytic enzymes.

The pyruvate molecules from glycolysis is first oxidized to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide molecules. The acetyl-CoA molecules enter the citric acid cycle occurring in the mitochondria and are used up in the production of  ATP, CO2, and electrons carried by NADH and FADH2.

The electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 from glycolysis and citric acid cycle are used in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway occurring inside the mitochondrion for transformation of oxygen molecules into water molecules with release of ATP.
