Which statement describes an event that occurs during glycolysis that contributes to the production of ATP? A. Pyruvic acid is broken down to form carbon dioxide.
B. Oxygen molecules are broken down and converted into pyruvic acid.
C. High-energy electrons and hydrogen ions are passed to NAD+ forming NADH.
D. Carbon atoms in glucose are transferred to ADP, forming ATP.

C. High-energy electrons and hydrogen ions are passed to NAD+ forming NADH.

Explanation:

The sixth step in glycolysis is the first of the two-energy-conserving reactions of glycolysis which results in the formation of ATP. This step involves the oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

In the oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, high-energy electrons and hydrogen ions are passed to NAD⁺ forming NADH.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + inorganic phosphate + NAD⁺ >  1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H⁺

The NADH produced in this reaction transports the high-energy electrons passed to it through the electron transport chain to produce ATP in oxidative phosphorylation.

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air
