CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is not involved in stage 1 of cellular respiration?
A
oxygen
B
glucose
C
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis, which is the first step in all types of cellular respiration is anaerobic and does not require oxygen. If oxygen is present, the pathway will continue on to the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm of your cells. During this process, a glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid).

Detailed explanation-3: -His letter C we noticed for cellular respiration, lactic acid fermentation is not a stage of it.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis. It does not require oxygen. During glycolysis, one glucose molecule is split into two pyruvate molecules, using 2 ATP while producing 4 ATP and 2 NADH molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -In organisms that perform cellular respiration, glycolysis is the first stage of this process. However, glycolysis doesn’t require oxygen, and many anaerobic organisms-organisms that do not use oxygen-also have this pathway.
