Explanation:
Breaking down of glucose can occur by various pathways ;
⑴ In presence of oxygen :
- - Breaking down of glucose into pyruvate takes place in Mitochondria of a cell.
- - End products are CO₂ , H₂O and energy.
⑵ In insufficient presence of oxygen :
- - In muscle cells, due to insufficient presence of oxygen the cells undergoes anaerobic respiration.
- - End products are Lactic acid and lot amount of energy.
⑶ In absence of Oxygen :
- - In absence of Oxygen, glucose breakdown into pyruvate in cytoplasm only.
- - End product are Ethanol, and small amount of energy.
I hope this is help you...

glucose( 6- carbon molecule ) is first broken down into pyruvate ( 3- carbon molecule )
then in the presence of oxygen or absence of oxygen or in lack of oxygen it is further broken down to produce oxygen + co2 + energy or alcohol+ energy or lactic acid + energy ... the process of break down of glucose to produce energy is called respiration ... it is exothermic process
