Question

Which of the following is most appropriate for aerobic respiration ?
A. Glucose`overset("Mitochondria")to` Pyruvate `overset("Cytoplasm")toCO_(2)+H_(2)O+` Energy
B. Glucose`overset("Cytoplasm")to` Pyruvate `overset("Mitochondria")toCO_(2)+H_(2)O+` Energy
C. Glucose`overset("Cytoplasm")to` Pyruvate + Energy `overset("Mitochondria")toCO_(2)+H_(2)O+` Energy
D. Glucose `overset("Cytoplasm")to` Pyruvate + Energy `overset("Mitochondria")toCO+H_(2)O+` Energy

Answer 1

Correct Answer - b
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen for respiration . It takes place in the mitochondria.
After glycolysis , pyurvate (from cytoplasm) enters the mitochondria and is oxidised in a series of reactions, to form considerable amount of energy (ATP) , `CO_(2)and H_(2)O`.
