Question

is a common step for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration and results in the formation of .

• A. Kreb's cycle
• B. Glycolysis
• C. TCA cycle
• D. pyruvate
• E. acetyl-Co-A
• F. oxygen

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

pyruvate

Glycolysis is a common step for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm and is independant of the presence or absence of oxygen. Two molecules of pyruvic acid/pyruvate is formed as the end product of glycolysis. This pyruvate enters the mitochondria and participates in the aerobic phase of cellular respiration.
