The condition in which reduced metabolic products comprising the "dept" accumulate due to inability of oxidative metabolism to function rapidly enough. The "debt" is payed off when the metabolism that produces reduced products slows. This is called:
Correct answer: B. Oxygen debt
- A. Electron debt
- B. Oxygen debt
- C. Hydrogen debt
- D. Carbon debt
Explanation
It have been taken from glossary of text book of biology book-I. It is definition of oxygen debt.

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.

Glycolysis is inhibited by inhibition of phosphofructokinase through feedback mechanism by accumulation of _ in mitochondrion.
Pumping of protons (H+) across the inner membrane of mitochondrion folded into cristae, between matrix of mitochondrion and mitochondrion's intermembrane space occur for chemiosmosis of:
NADH + H+ + 3ADP + 3Pi + ½ O2 ⎯⎯→ 3NAD+ + H2O + 3ATP. The equation has summarized:
