Let’s discuss the three main pathways of glucose catabolism. For this discussion, select a prokaryote or eukaryote and discuss whether it uses aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, or fermentation. Once you identify the catabolic pathway of your microorganism, compare it to one of the other three pathways by answering the following questions:
Are the Krebs cycle and electron transport system used?
What molecule is the final electron acceptor?
How much ATP is produced?
