Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Humans can respire aerobically and anaerobically. Which are products of both aerobic cell respiration and anaerobic cell respiration in humans?
A
Pyruvate and ATP
B
Pyruvate and lactate
C
ATP and carbon dioxide
D
Lactate and carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pyruvate and ATP are products both aerobic cell respiration and anaerobic cell respiration in Humans.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition, both aerobic and anaerobic respiration produce ATP, however, aerobic respiration produces a lot more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Food is oxidized in both cases and energy is released.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The body utilizes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration because the two methods are essential for survival. Aerobic respiration is the most efficient method and is utilized in the presence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Glycolysis is the pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. This is the first step of respiration in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate. In aerobic respiration, pyruvate enters oxidative phosphorylation, which uses oxygen as an electron acceptor to generate ATP.
