RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A
Aerobic respirationrequires oxygen and produces less energy per glucose than anaerobic respiration.
B
Anaerobic respiration doesnot require oxygen and produces less energy per glucose than aerobic respiration.
C
Only prokaryotic cells canperform aerobic respiration.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A True. Anaerobic respiration: In organisms like yeast and bacteria, they do not require oxygen for respiration. This type of respiration is called anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration where oxygen is not used; instead, organic or inorganic molecules are used as final electron acceptors.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘CO2 is given out’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The answer is b. It occurs in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs for an animal cell when there is an absence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic respiration produces around 18 times more energy compared to anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration generates 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP using one glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration thus produces less energy than aerobic respiration.
