Question

The final products obtained in the anaerobic respiration are ___________.

Answer 1

Anaerobic respiration

1. Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration where the food is broken down into alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy in the absence of oxygen.
2. In anaerobic respiration, food breaks down partially and releases less energy.
3. In plants, it leads to the formation of alcohol, carbon dioxide, and a very less amount of energy
   • Food (Glucose) →ethanol + Carbon dioxide + energy(ATP)
4. In animals, however, anaerobic respiration leads to the formation of lactic acid.
   • Food (Glucose) → lactic acid + energy(ATP)

Final answer:

The final products obtained in the anaerobic respiration are ethanol and lactic acid.
