a-Describe and give the locations of the metabolic pathways that are needed to break down glucose to CO2.
b-Outline the three phases of glycolysis and the net products.
c-Describe glycolysis, including the molecules that exist at its start/end, and # ATP produced.
d-Describe how an acetyl group enters the CAC and identify the net products of the CAC.
