Question

Consider the following chemical reactions which take place in different organisms/tissues under various conditions:
(i)$\text{Glucose}\stackrel{\text{Respiration}}{\to }\text{Ethanol}+\text{Carbon dioxide}+\text{Energy}$
(ii)$\text{Glucose}\stackrel{\text{Respiration}}{\to }\text{Carbon dioxide}+\text{Water}+\text{Energy}$
(iii) $\text{Glucose}\stackrel{\text{Respiration}}{\to }\text{Lactic acid}+\text{Energy}$

(d) Which equation/equations represent aerobic respiration?

Answer 1

Answer:
Aerobic respiration is represented by equation (ii).

Aerobic respiration makes two by-products carbon dioxide, water and produces ATP (energy). Animals remove carbon dioxide from their bodies when they breathe out.
