ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of respiration does this equation show?Glucose
A
Aerobic
B
Anaerobic in animals
C
Fermentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Fermentation – Anaerobic Respiration In organisms like yeast, the pyruvic acid formed by partial oxidation of glucose is converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide (CO2). This anaerobic condition is called alcoholic or ethanol fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ethanol fermentation, also called alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alcoholic fermentation is a complex biochemical process during which yeasts convert sugars to ethanol, carbon dioxide, and other metabolic byproducts that contribute to the chemical composition and sensorial properties of the fermented foodstuffs.
