Which biochemical pathways are utilized by cardiac muscle to oxidize organic carbon molecules and ultimately produce ATP? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

A. Glycolysis B. PDH complex C. Citric acid cycle D. Gluconeogenesis

Solution

A)Glycolysis because this is the initial stage of glucose metabolism, which usually takes place in the cytosol ,This process does not involve molecular O₂

Moreover It also produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate) along with the the three-carbon compound pyruvate.
