CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:An anaerobic process is one that does not require oxygen to take place.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: False. Anaerobic means that there is an absence of oxygen. Aerobic indicates the presence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration where oxygen is not used; instead, organic or inorganic molecules are used as final electron acceptors.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Presence of Oxygen Glycolysis (see “Glycolysis” concept) is an anaerobic process-it does not need oxygen to proceed. This process produces a minimal amount of ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerotolerant organisms do not require oxygen as they metabolize energy anaerobically. Unlike obligate anaerobes, however, they are not poisoned by oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic respiration takes place in presence of oxygen; whereas anaerobic respiration takes place in absence of oxygen. Carbon dioxide and water are the end products of aerobic respiration, while alcohol is the end product of anaerobic respiration.
