Question

The characteristic processes observed in anaerobic respiration are :
(i) presence of oxygen
(ii) release of carbon dioxide
(iii) release of energy
(iv) release of lactic acid

• A. ii), iii), iv) only
• B. i) and ii) only
• C. i), ii), iii) only
• D. iv) only

Answer 1

The correct option is A ii), iii), iv) only

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen. It occurs when the amount of aerobic respiration is not sufficient. Many organisms like yeast are capable of undergoing anaerobic respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm of the cells. The end products of anaerobic respiration are lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide.
