Cellular respiration sometimes is referred to as aerobic respiration, meaning that it occurs in the presence of oxygen, and is not an anaerobic process. Glycolysis is one of the processes in cellular respiration. In the final steps of glycolysis, two hydrogen atoms are removed from each three-carbon compound by bonding to free-floating oxygen atoms in the cytoplasm to form water.

∙ 14y agoGlycolysis is an anaerobic process which means that it does not require oxygen to occur. If efficient cellular respiration is to occur, the following steps of cellular respiration need to be in the presence of oxygen. If they are not in the presence of oxygen, fermentation occurs which results in the formation of ethyl alcohol and lactic acid.

How much ATP is made in the electron transport chain?
Many say that is 36 or 38 ATP but in reality it is actually 34 ATP.
What does it mean to say a system delta g has an equal to zero?
When ΔG is zero, the process is already in equilibrium, with no net change taking place over time
What does it mean to say that glycolysis and the citric acid cycle also function as metabolic interchanges?
This means that they create materials the body needs by converting taken materials and converting them into needed materials for the cell ex. the citric acid cycle takens in important protiens and converts them into animo acids that the body needs to create new specific protiens that cannot be manufactured from scratch
When a liqiud changes to a gas we say?
The process of a liquid changing to a gas is called vaporization.
What is the difference between isolation an extraction?
Isolation is the process of the seperation of the two metals but extraction is the process in which we get the desired metal from the concentrate.(in general we can say from the minerals and ores)
Why is glycolysis considered anaerobic respiration?
Glycolysis is consideredanaerobic respiration because the process does not require oxygen. During glycolysis glucose is broken down into 2 smaller molecules called pyruvic acid. This process requires a small amount of energy, but over all it does have a net gain in energy production. Glycolysis is also the first step in aerobic respiration. The 2 pyruvic acid molecules enter into the Krebs cycle, followed by the electron transport chain. This process produces a relatively large amount of energy, and requires the presence of Oxygen to happen. That is why it is considered aerobic.
What does it mean to say that glycolyis is anaerobic process?
It means glycolysis does not need oxygen to take place .
Why does anaerobic respiration produce less energy than aerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration only glycolysis occurs which forms 2ATP. However, in aerobic respiration there is the Krebs cycle which is responsible for making 2 ATP and the electron transport chain which is responsible for making 30 ATP. Most textbooks say that for aerobic respiration around 36-38 ATP is made. When compared to the 2 from anaerobic it is a major difference in energy production.
If you say that a certain process fixes nitrogen what does this mean which natural process in the atmosphere fixes nitrogen?
Lightning.
What does it mean to say that communication is a reciprocal process?
It means that true communication is mutual; there is a give and take.
What does it mean when you say the water cycle?
Water is recycled by natural phenomenon. It undergoes a cyclic process.
What does it mean when the boss says you are slow to process information?
Your boss may say you are slow to process information if you do not seem to understand or catch on to new things as fast as you need to.
Where in the cell does the glycolysis phase of cellular respiration occur?
Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell. This is true for both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.NOTE: The cytoplasm refers to the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus, including the intracellular fluid and organelles. The cytosol, however, refers to just the fluid. Although cytoplasm would probably be accepted as a valid answer, cytosol is the terminology you want to use. It takes place in the mitochondria in both plants, animals and microogranisms.
What does prosecuting authority as dominus litis or master of proceedings mean?
It's better to say "process owner" tnan "master of proceedings"...
What is the ending part of say what you mean and?
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Can you please tell me the step to step process on which holds better wood a nail or screw?
don't know what you mean by step by step process, but I can say with confidence that a screw will almost always hold better.
How many ATP are produced during glycolysis?
During glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP, that is to say that four ATP were actually produced, but it took two to get the whole thing started, so only two were really gained (kind of like a profit)
