Options

(a) oxaloacetic acid
(b) pyruvic acid
(c) citric acid
(d) acetic acid

Correct Answer:

pyruvic acid

Explanation:

The common aerobic respiration consists of three steps – glycolysis, krebs cycle and terminal oxidation. Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose or similar hexose sugar to two molecules of pyruvic acid through a series of enzyme mediated reactions (occurs in cytosol) releasing some energy (as ATP) and reducing power (AS NADH₂). It is common to both plant and animal cells and to both aerobic and anaerobic modes of respiration.
