Actually that's when the glycolysis occurs at a greater rate. Glycolysis is anaerobic, meaning it doesn't require oxygen. Without the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is undertaken to produce small amounts of ATP. It can also make lactic acid which can build up and become toxic to the body.

What stage of cellular respiration follows glycolysis in the presence of oxygen?

If there is no oxygen present, then the cell does either alcohol or lactic acid fermentation. If oxygen is present, the citric acid cycle follows glycolysis, with oxidative phosphorylation following the citric acid cycle.


What factor can determine which pathway a cell might follow aerobic or anaerobic in glycolysis?

Oxygen


How much molecular oxygen is required in the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?

There is a gross of four ATP produced during glycolysis, and two are used, which leaves a net gain of two. Therefore, two ATP are used in glycolysis.


How does the muscle continue to contract in the absence of oxygen?

The muscle continues to contract in the absence of oxygen through Glycolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm of a cell. It is called an anaerobic process, because it does not require oxygen.


If a cell has no oxygen what stages of aerobic cellular respiration can still run?

I believe it can only do Glycolysis.


When no oxygen is present for muscle cells after glycolysis what will the cell produce?

Lactic Acid :)


Raw materials needed for glycolysis?

Glycolysis is inherent in the process of respiration. The cell requires glucose and oxygen during glycolysis and water is the by-product


Is this true or false The pyruvic acid produced in electrolysis enters the chloroplasts if the oxygen is present in a cell?

It is false that if oxygen is present in a cell, pyruvic acid in glycolysis enters the chloroplasts. The pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria if oxygen is present in a cell.


Can a cell produce ATP in the absence of Oxygen?

Oxygen is required for ATP generation. However, that oxygen need not be in elemental form. Many organisms can obtain oxygen by breaking down oxygen-containing chemicals, like sugars and alcohols.


What are the raw materials in glycolysis?

Where does aerobic glycolysis occur?

Anaerobic respiration takes place in the Cytoplasma.
