Solution

The correct option is B False
When oxygen is not available glycolysis is not linked to the Kreb cycle. Instead, the pyruvate molecule formed at the end of glycolysis goes into the fermentation process producing lactic acid.
So, the correct statement is 'Glycolysis is linked to the Krebs cycle when oxygen is available.'.
