The energy -releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidised without an external electron acceptor is called
glycolysis
fermentation
aerobic respiration
aerobic respiration
B.
fermentation
In fermentation, the incomplete oxidation of glucose is achieved under anaerobic conditions by a set of reactions, where pyruvic acid is converted to CO2 and ethanol. The enzyme pyruvic acid, decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase catalyse these reactions. In animals cells also, like muscles during exercise, where oxygen is inadequate for cellular respiration, pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid by lactate dehydrogenase. The reducing agent is NADH + H+, which is reoxidized to NAD+, in both the processes.
Aerobic respiratory pathway is appropriately termed
catabolic
parabolic
amphibolic

People living at sea level have around 5 million RBC per cubic millimeter of their blood whereas those living at an altitude of 5400 metres have around 8 million. This is because at high altitude:
people get pollution-free air to breathe and more oxygen is available
atmospheric O2 level is less and hence more RBCs are needed to absorb the required amount of O2 to survive
there is more UV radiation which enhances RBC production
there is more UV radiation which enhances RBC production

dissolved in the blood
as bircarbonates
as carbonates
