Aerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of energy in absence of oxygen.
The energy released in aerobic respiration is higher as glucose is completely broken into CO₂ and H₂O. Whereas, in anaerobic respiration partial breakdown of glucose takes place and energy output is low.
Glycolysis, that converts glucose to pyruvic acid is the only common pathway that occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm.
So, the correct option is 'Breakdown of glucose in cytoplasm.
