Question
after glycolysis, which of the following is required in order to move to the final two stages of cellular respiration?
oxygen
energy
water
Cellular respiration has three main stages - glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. After glycolysis, for the cell to proceed to the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation (the final two stages), oxygen is required as it is the final electron acceptor in the electron - transport chain. Without oxygen, the cell will undergo fermentation instead of the full aerobic cellular respiration process.
