Solution
Answer:
Organism A does anaerobic respiration. Here1 molecule of glucose is incompletely broken down or oxidised into either lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide, and along with it only 2 ATPs are generated.
1 Glucose → Lactic acid or ethanol + 2 ATP
Yeast is an organism that behaves like A.
