1. Differentiate between
(b) Glycolysis and Krebs’ cycle
Glycolysis | Krebs cycle |
Glycolysis takes place inside the cytoplasm | It occurs inside mitochondria |
It is a straight or linear pathway | It is a cyclic process |
This process is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration | This process occurs only in aerobic respiration |
It breaks down one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate | It breaks down pyruvate completely into carbon dioxide and water |
It consumes two ATP molecules | It does not consume ATP |
