Consider the following chemical reactions which take place in different organisms/tissues under various conditions:
(i) Glucose Respiration−−−−−−−→ Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
(ii) Glucose Respiration−−−−−−−→ Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
(iii) Glucose Respiration−−−−−−−→ Lactic acid + Energy
(d) Which equation/equations represent aerobic respiration?
Open in App
Solution
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.
