Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During your respiraton experiment, how are anaerobic conditions created?
A
using an fermentation lock (airlock)
B
using boiled and cooled water
C
using a layer of oil over the surface of the reaction mixture
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is when an athlete is exercising too vigorously there’s not enough oxygen delivery into the muscle. So what happens is that the glucose is reacting and there’s a by-product from that which is called lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen. In yeast, the glucose breaks down anaerobically to produce alcohol as the end product and carbon dioxide gas as the byproduct. Whereas, in the case of Lactobacillus bacteria, lactic acid is produced anerobically.

Detailed explanation-3: -During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is produced. This happens when the demand for energy is more and supply of oxygen is less, mainly during heavy exercise. The lactic acid thus formed is broken down by the supply of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in muscles of human beings. this happens when we do a more amount of physical work. and sometimes sufficient amount of oxygen is unable to reach the muscles hence anaerobic respiration occurs in muscles and lactic acid is formed.
