Solution

The correct option is C

Lactic acid


The correct option is C.
Explanation of the correct option:

  1. Respiration is the process of release of energy by breaking down food molecules(glucose) that are stored in the body cells.
  2. There are two types of respiration: Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.
  3. The cellular respiration that takes place in absence of oxygen is known as anaerobic respiration.
  4. During excessive muscular movements, muscle cells undergo anaerobic respiration to produce lactic acid and energy.
  5. Cellular respiration in some lower microorganisms such as bacteria and yeasts takes place in absence of oxygen.
  6. Anaerobic respiration in yeast produces ethanol, carbon dioxide and energy.
  7. Anaerobic respiration in yeast follows the following equation :

C6H12O6 ⇢ C2H5OH + CO₂ + Energy(ATP).
(Glucose) (ethanol) (carbon dioxide)
Final answer:
Lactic acid is not produced during the anaerobic respiration in yeast.
