Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two “steps” or “stages” of cellular respiration are:
A
fermentationcellular respiration
B
aerobic respiration (no oxygen required)anaerboic respiration (no oxygen)
C
light independent light dependent
D
Aerobic respiration (oxygen required)Glycolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis can take place without oxygen in a process called fermentation. The other three stages of cellular respiration-pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation-require oxygen in order to occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -The second step in aerobic respiration is the formation of acetyl coenzyme A. In this process, pyruvate is oxidized in the mitochondria and 2-carbon acetyl group is produced. The newly produced 2-carbon acetyl group binds with coenzyme A, producing acetyl coenzyme A.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration occurs in both autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms, where energy becomes available to the organism most commonly through the conversion of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). There are two main types of cellular respiration-aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.
