Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Of the following products, which is produced by both anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration in humans?I. PyruvateII. ATPIII. Lactate
A
I only
B
I and II only
C
I, II and III
D
II and III only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Glycolysis occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic states. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation leading to the net production of 32 ATP molecules. In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate converts to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid. Fermentation follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+.
