RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of anaerobic respiration in a human cell?
A
Energy and Lactic Acid
B
Lactic Acid
C
Lactic Acid and Carbon Dioxide
D
Carbon Dioxide and Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and is less efficient than aerobic respiration. Unlike aerobic respiration, the end products here are ethyl alcohol as in yeasts and lactic acid as in animal cells. So the answer is ‘Alcohol and lactic acid’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lactic acid is the waste product produced during anaerobic respiration. Running fast can lead to a build-up of lactic acid in your muscles, causing cramp.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in human muscle cells, where the breakdown of glucose produces lactic acid and energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -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+.

Detailed explanation-5: -In this type of anaerobic process, glucose is broken into two molecules of lactic acid to form two ATPs molecules.
