AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Humans can respire aerobically and anaerobically. Which are products of both aerobic and anaerobic cell respiration in humans?
A
ATP and carbon dioxide
B
ethanol and ATP
C
Lactate and carbon dioxide
D
water and carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In addition, both aerobic and anaerobic respiration produce ATP, however, aerobic respiration produces a lot more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Food is oxidized in both cases and energy is released.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body utilizes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration because the two methods are essential for survival. Aerobic respiration is the most efficient method and is utilized in the presence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -With oxygen, organisms can use aerobic cellular respiration to produce up to 38 molecules of ATP from just one molecule of glucose. Without oxygen, organisms must use anaerobic respiration to produce ATP, and this process produces only two molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Glycolysis is the pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. This is the first step of respiration in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate. In aerobic respiration, pyruvate enters oxidative phosphorylation, which uses oxygen as an electron acceptor to generate ATP.
