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) $\text{Glucose}\stackrel{\text{Respiration}}{\to }\text{Lactic acid}+\text{Energy}$

(e) Which equation/equations represent anaerobic respiration?

Answer 1

Answer:
Anaerobic respiration is represented by equation (i) and equation (iii).

Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and releases less energy. This type of respiration takes place in yeast and muscle cells.
