Question

The end products of aerobic respiration:

• A. Carbon dioxide and water
• B. carbon dioxide and oxygen
• C. Carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol
• D. Carbon dioxide and glucose

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Carbon dioxide and water

The correct option is (a) Carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Respiration is the process where glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP.
2. Respiration can be of three types depending on the availability of oxygen.
3. Aerobic respiration occurs in the abundance of oxygen in mitochondria and its end products are carbon dioxide and water.
4. Anaerobic respiration occurs in absence of oxygen in yeast cells and its end products are carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol.
5. respiration that occurs in lack of oxygen in muscle cells produce carbon dioxide and lactic acid as end product.

Final answer: The end products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
