[C] Both (iii) and (iv)
The first step is the break-down of glucose, then, a six-carbon molecule, into a three- carbon molecule called pyruvate and it takes place in the cytoplasm. You must know that Breakdown of pyruvate using oxygen takes place in the mitochondria.
Further, the pyruvate may be converted into C₂H₅OH (ethanol) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). It occurs in yeast during fermentation. And this process takes place in the absence of air (which is oxygen), so, it is called anaerobic respiration.
Which of the following completes the given equation: Glucose + Oxygen → (?)
[A] only carbon dioxide + water + energy The given equation represents aerobic respiration. Glucose + oxygen + carbon dioxide + water + energy
[A] only carbon dioxide + water + energy
