Explanation
Correct option: B
Explanation:
• Our body requires energy to do many different things such as muscle contractions, transmitted nerve impulses growth, protein synthesis, active transport, maintaining constant body temperature all of this is required as a chemical called ATP.
• This is provided by a process called respiration and this happens inside animal cells as well as plant cells in little organelles called mitochondria.
• Glucose is provided by food and oxygen is provided through breathing and the whole series of complex chemical reactions take place but the result is carbon dioxide and water are products in that process energy is released and this process is specifically known as aerobic respiration.
• In the absence of oxygen, glucose will be converted to lactic acid and in the process, it will release a very small amount of energy this process is known as anaerobic respiration.
• Glycolysis is a process that converts glucose to pyruvic acid.
Hence, ‘glycolysis’ is the most common phase.
