Question

The respiration which takes place without using oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Respiration:

1. Respiration is the process of releasing energy by breaking down food (glucose) needed for various body activities.
2. There are two types of respiration:

• .Aerobic respiration:
  • The process of liberation of energy during the oxidation of food molecules in presence of oxygen is known as aerobic respiration.
  • Aerobic respiration follows the following equation:

C₆H₁₂O_{6 +} O_{2 ⇢} CO₂ + H₂O +ATP.
(Glucose) (oxygen)

• Anaerobic respiration:
  • The cellular respiration that takes place in absence of oxygen is known as anaerobic respiration.
  • Anaerobic respiration follows the following equation :

C₆H₁₂O_{6 ⇢} C₂H₅OH + CO₂ + Energy(ATP).
(Glucose) (ethanol)

Final answer:
The given statement is true.
