Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration?
A
Krebs cycle
B
ETC
C
glycolysis
D
formation of Acetyl CoA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis: Glycolysis is a Metabolic Pathway that is common to both cellular respiration and fermentation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation starts with glycolysis, but it does not involve the latter two stages of aerobic cellular respiration (the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation). During glycolysis, two NAD+ electron carriers are reduced to two NADH molecules and 2 net ATPs are produced.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Glycolysis is the pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. This is the first step of respiration in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate. In aerobic respiration, pyruvate enters oxidative phosphorylation, which uses oxygen as an electron acceptor to generate ATP.
