D) Every second carbon is reduced. 48) 48) Oxidation reduction reactions A) may involve the loss of hydrogen and electrons B) are rarely coupled together C) occur via the gain of hydrogen or the loss of oxyger D) utilize hydrogenases 49) 49) Which of the following is correct? A) Glycolysis relies on substrate-level oxidation for the four ATP produced in this pathway B) Most ATP from cellular respiration are produced directly in the Krebs cycle. C) Okidation of FADH2 eventually yields four ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. D) Most of the ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation.
