The correct word equation for Anaerobic respiration is
A
glucose
B
glucose
C
glucose + oxygen
D
lactic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Word equation for anaerobic respiration: Glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy (2 ATP)

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration generates 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP using one glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct equation for anaerobic respiration in humans is: glucose → lactic acid. Anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration, which needs oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The equation is: glucose + enzymes = carbon dioxide + ethanol/lactic acid.
