Following glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, but before the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, the carbon skeleton of glucose has been broken down to CO2 with some net gain of ATP. Most of the energy from the original glucose molecule at that point in the process, however, is stored in the form of which molecules?

Respuesta :

Answer: NADH and FADH2

Explanation:

The formation of adenosine triphosphte requires oxidative phosphorylation  and electron transport chain . Before these two processes the energy is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2.

The formation of ATP molecules takes place when the electrons are passed on to the NADH and FADH2 molecules.

Hence, before the process of oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain the energy in the glucose is in the form of NADH and FADH2 molecules.
