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.

due to the fact that it skipped a generation we can tell it is definitely not a dominant trait, therefore it must be recessive. i think this is right let me know!

explanation:

the form of energy changes and the total energy increases0l
