Step-by-step solution

The breakdown of complex molecules to yield energy takes place in the cytoplasm and in the mitochondria. The breaking of the C-C bonds of complex compounds through oxidation within the cells, leading to release of considerable amount of energy is called Respiration. The compounds that are oxidised during this process are known as Respiratory substrates.,In fermentation, say by yeast, the incomplete oxidation of glucose is achieved under anaerobic conditions by sets of reactions where pyruvic acid is converted to CO
