Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do tired muscles and yeast have in common?
A
They both go through anaerobic respiration
B
They both go through aerobic respiration
C
They have nothing in common
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast is different from the same process in muscle cells. Ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced. Anaerobic converts glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast cells due to different circumstances within the different types of cells, instead of lactic acid as in muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -In yeast, the anaerobic reactions make alcohol, while in your muscles, they make lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is a process in which glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid without the help of an external electron acceptor such as oxygen. It occurs in the cell cytoplasm and so is common to both aerobic and anaerobic organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 Answer. Yeast can carry out both anaerobic respiration (fermentation) and aerobic respiration. Both produce carbon dioxide, fermentation produces a much lower amount of ATP. Fermentation produces ethanol.
