RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which equation shows the reaction for anaerobic respiration
A
carbon dioxide + water
B
glucose + Oxygen
C
glucose + oxygen
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid. The chemical equation is C6H12O6-> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose-> Lactic acid).

Detailed explanation-2: -The anaerobic respiration equation depends on which fermentation pathway is used by the living organism. For anaerobic respiration in animals, the equation is: C6H12O6→2C3H6O3+energy C 6 H 12 O 6 → 2 C 3 H 6 O 3 + e n e r g y .

Detailed explanation-3: -The equation is: glucose + enzymes = carbon dioxide + ethanol/lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is metabolized to lactic acid according to the equation. C6H12O6(aq)⟶2C3H6O3(aq)G∘=−198 kJ at pH7.0 and 25∘C.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glucose →ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy.
