AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is anaerobic respiration?
A
Anaerobic respiration transfers energy from glucose to cells.
B
It occurs when oxygen is present.
C
It transfers small amounts of energy quickly.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Respiration is a chemical reaction which takes place in all livings cells and releases energy from glucose. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and releases less energy but more quickly than aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration in microorganisms is called fermentation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose breaks down without the presence of oxygen in anaerobic respiration. The chemical reaction transfers the energy from glucose to the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is the respiration which occurs in the absence of oxygen to produce the energy. It occurs in yeast cells in which alcohol is produced. It also occurs in muscles of our body when we do excess workout which causes the temporary lack of the oxygen for muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -During anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose is incomplete-not all of the energy can be released from the glucose molecule as it is only partially broken down.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. The process is also called fermentation. They will not enter into the TCA cycle or ETS. Here partial glycolysis results in pyruvic acid.
