Step-by-step solution
Cellular respiration is defined as the breaking of C-C bonds of complex compounds through oxidation within the cells, leading to the release of considerable amount of energy. Glycolysis is the partial oxidation of glucose to pyruvic acid, and this process occurs universally in the cytoplasm of the cell. The complete oxidation of pyruvate by the stepwise removal of all hydrogen atoms occurs in the mitochondrial matrix during the Krebs cycle. The passing on of electrons to molecular oxygen (final acceptance of electr
