Question

Name the type of respiration in which the end products are:
(a) C₂H₅OH and CO₂
(b) CO₂ and H₂O
(c) Lactic acid
Give one example of each case where such a respiration can occur.

Answer 1

(a) In the anaerobic respiration that takes place in yeast, the end products are C₂H₅OH and CO₂.
(b) In the aerobic respiration that takes place in human cells in the presence of oxygen, the end products are CO₂ and H₂O.
(c) In the anaerobic respiration that takes place in animal tissues like muscle cells, the end product is lactic acid.
