Glucose gets _________ oxidized in anaerobic respiration.

Open in App

Solution

Anaerobic respiration:
Anaerobic respiration is the mechanism of the breakdown of glucose into ethanol (in plants) and lactic acid (in humans) without oxygen.
There is partial oxidation of glucose into ethanol or lactic acid in anaerobic respiration.
Fermentation is anaerobic respiration in which glucose is partially oxidized to generate ethyl alcohol or lactic acid and two ATP molecules in bacteria.
Final answer:
Glucose gets partially oxidized in anaerobic respiration.
