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.
