Answer:

<h2>B</h2>

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the process of production of pyruvate from glucose by various enzymatic steps.

This pyruvate is further used in different ways;  as it is differently used in the presence of oxygen or in the absence of oxygen.

In the absence of oxygen, lactate is generated form  pyruvate, as given here, if this enzyme is non-functional, then lactate would not be produced.

In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate is oxidized in TCA cycle and finally through electron transport chain, energy in generated.

<span>d. neither of these will cross a plasma membrane.

Glucose cannot diffuse across a plasma membrane as it is polar. Since the question doesn't specify the type of diffusion, simple diffusion is assumed.

If you count facilitated diffusion, then A is the answer.</span>
