Question

All cells can synthesis ATP by way of glycolysis. Many cells have to metabolize pyruvate without oxygen by doing...?

Answer 1

Anaerobic respiration

Step-by-step explanation:

As rightly stated in this question, cells of all living organism synthesize ATP via the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration, however, occurs in stages starting with GLYCOLYSIS, which breaks down glucose to form PYRUVATE.

The metabolism of pyruvate in subsequent steps depends on whether the respiration process is occuring with or without oxygen. Without oxygen, pyruvate is metabolized in a process called ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION. Anaerobic respiration employs other molecules asides OXYGEN for last electron acceptor.
