A glucose molecule is completely broken down to carbon dioxide and water in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, but together these two processes yield only a few molecules of ATP. What happened to most of the energy that the cell obtains from the oxidation of glucose?
a. it is stored in the ATP that was formed by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
b. it was lost as heat
c. it is stored in NADH
d. it is stored in pyruvate
e. it is stored in the carbon dioxide and water molecules released by these processes
