Which of the following shows the pathway of electrons in cellular respiration? Hint: not all steps are shown for each answer. You are looking for the correct order even if a step is skipped.

1) FADH2 -> ATP -> oxygen ->water

2) glucose -> ATP -> carbon dioxide -> water

3) pyruvate -> acetyl CoA -> FADH2 -> oxygen

4) NADH -> ATP -> water -> oxygen

5) NADH-->FADH2-->carbon dioxide-->oxygen

The complete conversion of a molecule glucose to six molecules of carbon dioxide via glycolysis and the Krebs cycle requires 19 reactions. Put the reactions that are given below in the proper order, beginning with the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate and ending with the oxidation of malate to form oxaloacetic acid.

1) 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP --> 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP
2) fumarate + H2O --> malate
3) isocitrate + NAD+ --> alpha-ketoglutarate + NADH + H+ + CO2
4) phosphoenol pyruvate + ADP --> pyruvate + ATP
5) Succinyl-CoA + GDP + Pi --> succinate + GTP + CoASH
6) glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + NAD+ + Pi --> 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H+

Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose monomer and dimers. Glucose is converted to pyruvate and then to acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle and is broken down to CO2 and in the process produces NADH & FADH2, which is utilized in the generation of ATP via the electron transport chain. Why does the cell go through this elaborate pathway to convert glucose to carbon dioxide and water and in the process generate ATP? Why not use a simpler and shorter mechanism to breakdown glucose?
