Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
Which of the following occurs only in aerobic conditions?

• A. Glycolysis
• B. Lactate respiration
• C. Oxidative phosphorylation
• D. Fermentation

Answer 1

The correct option is C Oxidative phosphorylation

• Glycolysis is the first part of the reaction that provides substrate for the further reaction of aerobic and anaerobic reaction. IT takes place in cytoplasm and does not require any oxygen.
• LActate respiration and fermentation both are the reaction that take place in the cells or the tissues which respiration in anaerobic conditions or when there is not enough oxygen.
• Oxidative phosphorylation is the process that takes place in the in the inner mitochondrial membrane where the electrons and hydronium ions are transported through a series of complexs and at the end the electrons and hydronium are accepted by the oxygen and water is formed, this is the process in the aerobic respiration where the oxygen is used and it cannot be completed with it.
• Therefore the answer option 'Oxidative phosphorylation' is correct.
