Question

Common phase between aerobic and anaerobic modes of respiration is

• A. Krebs cycle
• B. EMP/glycolysis
• C. Oxidative phosphorylation
• D. Pentose phosphate pathway

Answer 1

The correct option is B EMP/glycolysis

Aerobic respiration is a type of respiration in which the breakdown of organic compounds takes place with the presence of oxygen and release a large amount of energy in the form of ATP.

In anaerobic respiration, the partial breakdown of organic compound takes place without using oxygen and release only a fraction of energy. The first breakdown of glucose takes place through glycolysis which is the common pathway between the aerobic and anaerobic respiration and it takes place in the cytoplasm.

So, the correct option is 'EMP/Glycolysis'
