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

Detailed explanation-1: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration breaks down glucose and combines the broken down products with oxygen, making water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration because cells do not need it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus three times carbon dioxide is released during the course of aerobic respiration-once during oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and two during the Krebs or citric acid cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon atoms are removed from the organic molecule (glucose) to form carbon dioxide. Aerobic respiration involves the complete combustion of glucose (6C) – so six CO2 molecules are produced.

Detailed explanation-5: -No, there is no production of CO2 in anaerobic respiration.In case of anaerobic respiration taking place in muscles, there is production of lactic acid along with ATPs.
