Solution

Glucose solubilized in blood plasma is transported to respiring tissues.

Reduced coenzymes undergo oxidation when they deliver electrons to the inner mitochondrial membrane

.

Pyruvic acid moves into the matrix of the mitochondria where it is modified and then enters the citric acid cycle

The eventual reduction of oxygen to water occurs in the final enzymatic reactions in electron transport

.

Glucose undergoes a series of mostly oxidative steps in the cytoplasm resulting in the formation of pyruvic acid

.

Glucose from the diet is absorbed in the small intestines.
