Question

Food $\to$ ___ + Carbon dioxide + Energy

(i) What type of respiration is represented in the above equation?
(ii) Fill in the blank with the correct product that is formed.

• A. (i) Aerobic Respiration
  (ii) Lactic Acid
• B. (i) Anaerobic Respiration
  (ii) Ethyl Alcohol
• C. (i) Anaerobic Respiration
  (ii) Water
• D. (i) Aerobic Respiration
  (ii) Water

Answer 1

The correct option is B

(i) Anaerobic Respiration
(ii) Ethyl Alcohol

The respiratory process which occurs in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.

Food molecules are partially broken down to obtain the following:
Food $\to$ Ethyl Alcohol + Carbon-dioxide + Energy

Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen and a large amount of energy is released in comparison to the anaerobic reaction.
