After glycolysis and the citric acid cycle has occurred, most of the energy that was contained in the original glucose molecule is now contained: B. in oxaloacetic and molecules.

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in living cells, so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Basically, the three (3) main stages involved in cellular respiration are:

  • Glycolysis.
  • Citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle.
  • Electron transport chain.

During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created which are then oxidized to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

This ultimately implies that, the intermediary substances (products) are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage.

After glycolysis and the citric acid cycle has occurred, most of the energy contained in the original glucose molecule which has been broken down, is now stored in oxaloacetic acid and molecules.
