RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does anaerobic respiration happen in the cell?
A
the nucleus
B
the mitochondria
C
the cytoplasm
D
the ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It takes place in the cytoplasm since most anaerobic cells do not have specialized organelles whereas aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-4: -The fermentation of lactic acid or lactate fermentation is an anaerobic process that takes place in the cytoplasm of the cells. In this process, the enzyme converts the pyruvic acid produced in glycolysis into a three-carbon molecule called lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in muscles of human beings. this happens when we do a more amount of physical work. and sometimes sufficient amount of oxygen is unable to reach the muscles hence anaerobic respiration occurs in muscles and lactic acid is formed.
