The overall goal of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport system is the formation of:
Correct answer: D. ATP in small stepwise units
- A. ATP in one large oxidation reaction
- B. Sugars
- C. Nucleic acids
- D. ATP in small stepwise units
Explanation
The overall purpose of these metabolic pathways is to gradually extract energy from glucose and use it to produce ATP through a series of small stepwise reactions. Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport system work together to efficiently harvest energy and convert it into ATP.
