Question

Anaerobic respiration is also known as

• A. Intramolecular respiration.
• B. Intermolecular respiration.
• C. Extramolecular respiration.
• D. Molecular respiration.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Intramolecular respiration.

Anaerobic respiration is a process of formation of energy in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration and called as intramolecular respiration. Intramolecular respiration is characteristic of certain tissues (the meristem, the fleshy parts of fruits, tubers). Chemically, the intramolecular respiration of green plants is closely related to alcoholic fermentation.
