Find the CORRECT statements from the following and choose the correct option. (A). Glycolysis (EMP pathway) is a common path for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. (B). Glycolysis occurs in mitochondria. (C). Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose molecule into two pyruvic acid molecules. (D). During Glycolysis, ATP is produced by oxidative phosphorylation.

Step-by-step solution

Statement (A) is correct. Glycolysis, also known as the EMP pathway, is the first stage of cellular respiration and is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Statement (B) is incorrect. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, not in the mitochondria. Statement (C) is correct. During glycolysis, one molecule of glucose (a 6-carbon compound) is partially oxidized to form two molecules of pyruvic acid (a 3-carbon compound). Statement (D) is incorrect. During glycolysis, ATP is produced through subst
