CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
anaerobic occurs in the cytoplasm
A
true
B
false
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Anaerobic respiration usually occurs in lower plants and microorganisms. In the absence of oxygen, the glucose derived from food is broken down into alcohol and carbon dioxide along with the production of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the cell cytoplasm.-Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that covers the space between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. In anaerobic respiration, glucose is not entirely split, but much less ATP is released than during aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reason: Aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria, whereas anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.
