In the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, one carbon atom is released as CO₂. However, the oxidation of the remaining two carbon atoms—in acetate—to CO₂ requires a complex, eight-step pathway—the citric acid cycle. Consider four possible explanations for why the last two carbons in acetate are converted to CO₂ in a complex cyclic pathway rather than through a simple, linear reaction. Use your knowledge of the first three stages of cellular respiration to determine which explanation is correct.
a. More ATP is produced per CO₂ released in cyclic processes than in linear processes.
b. It is easier to remove electrons and produce CO₂ from compounds with three or more carbon atoms than from a two-carbon compound such as acetyl COA.
c. Redox reactions that simultaneously produce CO₂ and NADH occur only in cyclic processes.
d. Cyclic processes, such as the citric acid cycle, require a different mechanism of ATP synthesis than linear processes, such as glycolysis.

How does the fermentation of pyruvic acid in cells contribute to the formation of atp? a. it completes the oxidation of glucose to co2, creating atp. b. it generates lactic acid, which cycles back through the krebs cycle, producing 2 atp molecules. c. it converts fadh2 to phosphate, which bonds with adp. d. it produces 2 nad+ molecules, which cycle back to fuel the glycolysis reaction, allowing 2 atp molecules to be produced.
