Question

During the process of anaerobic respiration :-

• A. Large quantity of $C{O}_2$ is evolved
• B. Net gain in $8$ ATP molecules
• C. At least one of the end product is organic
• D. $NADH$ is oxidised to $NA{D}^{+}$ very vigorously

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

At least one of the end product is organic

Large quantity of $C{O}_2$ is evolved only in the case of aerobic respiration and the net gain of ATP in anaerobic respiration is 2 ATP. During fermentation the NADH is oxidised to NAD+ very vigorously but it just the reverse in case of anaerobic respiration. However, the end product of glycolysis is an organic compound (pyruvate) or after fermentation it can become lactate or ethanol,

So the correct option is 'At least one of the end product is organic'.
