The complete oxidation of glucose takes place in:
Correct answer: B. Aerobic respiration
- A. Alcoholic fermentation
- B. Aerobic respiration
- C. Lactic fermentation
- D. Anaerobic respiration
Explanation
Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen and results in the complete oxidation of glucose. On the other hand, anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen, and hence glucose is partially oxidized. Alcoholic and lactic fermentation are the two types of anaerobic respiration.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
