Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an anaerobic condition, oxygen is not present (option A) and the degradation of glucose cannot proceed beyond glycolysis (option B) as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, oxygen, is not available. Mitochondrial processing of nutrient molecules takes place in aerobic conditions (option C). Therefore, the best choice would be (D) both (a) and (b) above.
