Which of the following statements about catabolic pathways that lead to cellular respiration is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catabolic pathways are a type of metabolic pathway. Metabolic pathways refer to all the reactions that take place in an organism. Metabolism can be divided into two distinct categories: catabolic (breaking things down) and anabolic (building things up).
The two catabolic pathways that lead to cellular energy production are cellular respiration and fermentation.
Cellular respiration is aerobic (needs oxygen) and produces 32-36 molecules of ATP for every molecule of glucose consumed.
Fermentation occurs in an anaerobic (oxygen-depleted) environment. Because fermentation doesn't use oxygen, the glucose molecule doesn't break down completely and so it releases less energy. The fermentation process in cells releases about two ATP for every molecule of glucose consumed.
