Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis is the stage of aerobic respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH. The other stages (the citric acid cycle and electron transport) occur in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in plants, not in cellular respiration. Fermentation is an alternative pathway for ATP production in the absence of oxygen.
