Question

The end product of aerobic respiration is ethyl alcohol.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Aerobic Respiration:

Aerobic respiration is the process by which oxidation of organic food occurs in the presence of oxygen.

End products of aerobic respiration:

1. Carbon dioxide and water are released as the end products of aerobic respiration.
2. Glucose in the presence of oxygen is oxidized to release energy in the form of ATP.
3. The reaction for respiration can be denoted by the equation: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Energy + Water.

Anaerobic respiration:

1. Anaerobic respiration is the process in which an incomplete breakdown of glucose occurs in the absence of oxygen.
2. In this process, carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol are generally produced.

Hence, the given statement is false.
