Answer 1

Answer:

( C)X-Glycolysis, Y-Aerobic, Z-Anaerobic

Explanation

Glycolysis is the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into a simpler form, which is pyruvic acid. Therefore, X represents glycolysis.  

In the absence of oxygen pyruvic acid further converts into alcohol and carbon dioxide with a lower quantum of energy i.e., turmoil or anaerobic respiration or anoxybiotic. Therefore, Z represents anaerobic.  

In the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration), pyruvic acid will be converted into carbon dioxide, water, and a large quantum of energy.  

Aerobic respiration - aerobic respiration is also known as oxybiotic respiration. Therefore, Y represents aerobic.  

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
