Solution
The reaction occuring in glycolysis is an exothermic reaction as glucose is broken down to form pyruvate during which energy is released and this energy is used to make ATP.The reaction occuring in citric acid cycle is also an exothermic reaction that involves oxidation of acetylcoA.The energy released is used to make ATP.Electron transport system is an exothermic and redox reaction in which electrons transferred from electron donors are accepted by electron acceptors.The proton gradient created ultimately helps in the synthesis of ATP.
