The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Glycolysis (Embden Meyerh of path way) is the series of biochemical reactions in which glucose is broken down to pyruvate with the release of usable energy in the form of ATP. The energy yield is two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule. It occurs in cytoplasm and is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Respiration in Plants

Respiration in plants is a process that entails the production of energy in plants. This process can simply be described as the intake of Oxygen and the release of Carbon Dioxide as an outcome of the oxidation of complex organic compounds. Though plants do not have any specific organ to balance the process of respiration, their stems, roots, and leaves do this work at a very low rate than other living beings. The process of respiration is very crucial for the plants to sustain the growth of the plant tissues.

This process can be stated as-

\[C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 → 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{Energy}\]
