ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these equations shows anaerobic respiration in animals?
A
Glucose + Oxygen
B
Glucose
C
Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid. The chemical equation is C6H12O6-> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose-> Lactic acid).

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Glucose + Oxygen ⇢ Energy + CO2 + is the correct word equation of the anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic acid is the byproduct of anaerobic respiration in animals. Without molecule oxygen, anaerobic respiration occurs in animal muscle cells. As a result, it is often referred to as homolactic fermentation. The liver receives the lactic acid that muscle cells produce to regenerate glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic respiration in animals leads to the production of lactic acid. It is the release of a relatively small amount of energy in cells by the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen.
