glucose is oxidised in 2 ways -with oxygen (aerobic) -without oxygen(anaerobic) aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria . glucose in cytoplasm forms pyruvic acid is converted into carbon di oxide 38 ATP of energy and water anaerobic respiration may take place in muscle cells or RBCs in this glucose is converted into pyruvic acid in cytoplasm which changes to -lactic acid, water and 2 ATP of energy in muscle cells and RBCs -in yeast anaerobic respiration takes place pyruvic acid formed from glucose is converted to form alchohol and water as well as 2 ATP of energy
