Cellular Respiration

Question 2 • First Semester Biology

What do aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration have in common?

Answer
A
Both begin with glycolysis.
B
Both occur in mitochondria.
C
Both require oxygen to proceed.
D
Both end with the electron transport chain.

Explanation

Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration begin with glycolysis, which breaks glucose into pyruvate and produces a small amount of ATP. Aerobic respiration can continue through processes that use oxygen, while anaerobic pathways continue without oxygen. The other choices are incorrect because anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen or necessarily occur in mitochondria, and it does not end with an electron transport chain.
