• This process splits glucose in half and produces 2 ATPs for each glucose.
This process uses energy captured from electrons flowing to oxygen to produce most of the ATPs in cellular respiration.
• This process converts pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA.
• This process joins 2 pyruvic acid molecules into a molecule of glucose.
• This process produces some ATP and carbon dioxide in the mitochondrion.

The statement that best describes the citric acid cycle is:
• This process produces some ATP and carbon dioxide in the mitochondrion.
The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle, occurs in the mitochondria and is responsible for producing ATP and releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct while processing acetyl CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
