Assignment Task: Some human cells are not capable of undergoing the entire process of cellular respiration, even though they can perform the process of glycolysis. Plenty of oxygen is available and inside these cells. What is happening?
a) Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. The other steps require rough endoplasmic reticulum. Some human cells do not have rough endoplasmic reticulum, therefore they depend on glycolysis only for energy.
b) Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. The other steps require mitochondria. Some human cells do not have mitochondria, therefore they depend on glycolysis only for energy.
c) Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. The other steps require chloroplasts. Some human cells do not have chloroplasts, therefore they depend on glycolysis only for energy.
