0%
b) Fermentation
0%
c) Photorespiration

d) Glycolysis
Explanation
Glycolysis is the first stage of the breakdown of glucose in the cytoplasm of the cell without using oxygen (electron acceptor). It is a stepwise process in which one molecule of glucose breaks into two molecules of pyruvic acid and a net gain of energy is 2 ATP and 2NADH2 molecules. The stepwise breakdown of the respiratory substrate to CO2 and H2O in presence of oxygen is referred as aerobic respiration. It is a catabolic process and generates a large amount of energy to form ATP. Anaerobic respiration in micro-organisms are called fermentation. These fermentation pathways consist of glycolysis with some extra reactions tacked on at the end. Alcoholic fermentation is a breakdown of glucose into ethyl alcohol and CO2 in presence of enzyme of micro-organism. Photorespiration is light-induced oxidation of photosynthetic intermediates with the help of oxygen without releasing energy. Answer : (d)
