Breakdown of glucose as per the given condition.
1. In the presence of atmospheric oxygen:
- The glucose which is a six-carbon compound splits into 3 carbon compound called pyruvate in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- The three-carbon compound pyruvate splits into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- The breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.
2. In the absence of atmospheric oxygen:
- The glucose which is a six-carbon compound splits into 3 carbon compound called pyruvate in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- The three-carbon compound pyruvate splits into ethanol, carbon dioxide, and energy.
- The breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen occurs in the yeast cell.
3. In muscle cell due to lack of oxygen:
- The glucose which is a six-carbon compound splits into 3 carbon compound called pyruvate in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- The three-carbon compound pyruvate splits into Lactic acid and energy.
- The breakdown of glucose in the lack of oxygen occurs in the muscle cells.
