Enzyme responsible for complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is present in:

A
Cytosol
B
Mitochondria
C
Lysosomes
D
ER
High-Yield Explanation
Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate is taken up into mitochondria, and after oxidative decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA is oxidized to CO2 by the citric acid cycle. Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is reduced by the NADH to lactate, catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase. (Ref: Harper Ed. 29th pg173, Ed 30th pg 172)
