Glycolysis is found in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Explanation:
- The glycolysis is common for both the aerobic and anaerobic respiration. They differ only after the completion of glycolysis.
- The glucose molecule breaks into two three carbon compound pyruvic acid.
- The pyruvic acid enters into krebs cycle, where it completely oxidized in the presence of oxygen. The end products of aerobic respiration are energy, carbonoxide, water molecules etc.
- In the anaerobic respiration, the pyruvic acid is incompletely oxidized into carbon dioxide and alcohol.
- So, glcolysis is universal reaction for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Thank you
