FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration takes place in two stages. They are
A
glycolysis and fermentation
B
electron transport chain, then fermentation
C
glycolysis, then aerobic respiration
D
glycolysis, then the Calvin cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Summary. Cellular respiration always begins with glycolysis, which can occur either in the absence or presence of oxygen. Cellular respiration that proceeds in the absence of oxygen is anaerobic respiration. Cellular respiration that proceeds in the presence of oxygen is aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -If oxygen is available, glycolysis is followed by two processes in the mitochondria–the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, respectively–that further increase ATP yield.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic states. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation leading to the net production of 32 ATP molecules. In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate converts to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis.
