(A) glycolysis Explanation: the breakdown of glucose is the first step in cell Respiration. It occurs anaerobically and produces 4 ATO molecules. Lactic acid and alcohol fermentation are also anaerobic but use pyruvic acid produced from glycolysis to produce either lactic acid or alcohol and carbon dioxide, respectively. The Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain occur in the presence of oxygen during anaerobic respiration.

(E) a proton gradient is created Explanation: The electron transport chain (ETC) pumps protons across the cristae membrane of Mitochondria in order to create a proton gradient. This gradient will power the production if ATP during the process known as chemiosmosis. Water is produced after the protons flow through ATP synthetase channels. Lactic acid is produced as a consequence of fermentation. Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvic acid molecules during glycolysis.

(B) oxidation Explanation: Oxidation is the loss of electrons; reduction is the gain of electrons. Redox refers to a reaction where electrons are both gained and lost. The electron transport chain is a set of redox reactions where electrons are lost and gained by molecules like cytochromes. Lysis is a process of breaking apart. For example, a cell is Lysenko if it is placed into a hypertonic solution.
