ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does anaerobic respiration occur in cells?
A
cytoplasm
B
chloroplast
C
mitochondria
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It takes place in the cytoplasm since most anaerobic cells do not have specialized organelles whereas aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reason: Aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria, whereas anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
