Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cytosol is the part of the cell where glycolysis takes place.

Answer: J
 Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down to pyruvate.

Answer: C
 Pyruvic acid is the product of glycolysis.

Answer: G
 Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration as a byproduct of glycolysis.

Answer: I
 Anaerobic respiration is the process of ATP production that occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Answer: F
 Mitochondria are the organelles in which aerobic respiration takes place.

Answer: B
 The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is the second stage of aerobic respiration that occurs in the mitochondria.
