Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ To the electron transport chain ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ NADH produced during glycolysis is used in the electron transport chain to generate ATP when oxygen is available. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ The hydrogen ion shuttle, such as the Glycerol Phosphate Shuttle or Malate-Aspartate Shuttle, transfers the electrons from NADH in the cytosol to carriers within the mitochondria. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Inside the mitochondria, these electrons are then passed to the electron transport chain, which uses the energy to pump protons and generate a proton gradient used for ATP synthesis. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ NADH and the Electron Transport Chain ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ NADH made during glycolysis is transported into the mitochondria, where it donates electrons to the electron transport chain if oxygen is available, leading to ATP production. ⚹◊Where specifically in the cell is NADH + H+ sent if oxygen is available?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
