Q. Assertion : Glycolysis is also called $EMP$ pathway.
Reason : It is the only process of respiration in aerobic organisms.

Respiration in Plants

Solution:

In glycolysis, also known as $EMP$ pathway, glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is present in almost all living organisms. In anaerobic organisms, it is the only process in respiration.
