With oxygen present vs with present oxygen
While I was reading biology on yahoo answer, I noticed this phrase "with oxygen present". The paragraph is as follows:
"With oxygen present, the Krebs cycle and the electric transport chain....?"
A) Provide organisms an alternative to glycolysis
B) produce most of the ATP needed for life
C) break down glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, & ATP
D) all of the above
I have two questions:
1. If I rewrite phrase "with present oxygen" instead of "with oxygen present", Do they differ in meaning and Can be used interchangeably?
2. Am I correct if I simplify this part "With oxygen present, the Krebs cycle and the electric transport chain....? to " while the oxygen is present, the Krebs cycle and the electric transport chain....?
Source:with oxygen present, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain....?
