The plasma membrane, also called the cell membrane, is the membrane found in all cells that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.

The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell. It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. And that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.

I am The red blood cell
Yuliya22 [10]

Red blood cells, also known as RBCs, red cells, red blood corpuscles, haematids, erythroid cells or erythrocytes, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system. RBCs take up oxygen in the lungs, or gills of fish, and release it into tissues while squeezing through the body's capillaries.

Paul [167]

Answer:

It represents the first stage in the chemical oxidation of glucose by a cell.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first stage of oxidation of glucose by the process of cellular respiration. Glycolysis includes the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Substrate level phosphorylation forms net 2 ATP molecules and the redox reactions of glycolysis uses NAD+ as an electron acceptor resulting in the formation of 2 NADH.

Therefore, one molecule of glucose obtains 2 pyruvate molecules, 2ATP and 2 NADH by glycolysis. The fate of pyruvate depends on the availability of oxygen. Citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are the next two stages of aerobic cellular respiration.
