Aerobic Respiration – Check Test

1. Aerobic respiration is the

A breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen.

B build-up of glucose in the presence of oxygen.

C breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen.

D build-up of glucose in the absence of oxygen.

2. During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into
