The breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm is called
AKrebs or TCA cycle steps
BElectron transport chain
COxidative phosphorylation
DGlycolysis or EMP pathway
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Glycolysis or EMP pathway
Glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway) is the cytoplasmic 10-step partial oxidation of glucose into 2 pyruvate. It occurs in all living cells and is the only respiratory pathway in anaerobes.
