Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of anaerobic respiration?
A
Glucose and oxygen
B
Carbon dioxide and water
C
Lactic acid
D
Carbon monoxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. The end product of anaerobic respiration in plants is ethanol. At the same time, the end product of anaerobic respiration in animals is lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -The products of anaerobic respiration are lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and water. Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen. Inside the cell cytoplasm, glucose breaks down into pyruvic acid. If oxygen is absent, then pyruvic acid converts into lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic acid is an organic compound produced via fermentation by different microorganisms that are able to use different carbohydrate sources. Lactic acid bacteria are the main bacteria used to produce lactic acid and among these, Lactobacillus spp. have been showing interesting fermentation capacities.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the products of lactic acid fermentation from one molecule of glucose include 2 ATP, 2 pyruvate, 2 molecules of lactic acid, and 2 NAD+.

Detailed explanation-5: -In lactic acid fermentation the end product is-Lactate.
