RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these are the result of anaerobic respiration in a human? Choose 2 answers.
A
Oxygen Debt
B
Lactic Deficit
C
Lactic Acid
D
Excess Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration in muscle produces Lactic Acid and Energy. It does not produce carbon dioxide, hence the correct answer is 2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in human muscle cells, where the breakdown of glucose produces lactic acid and energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is produced. This happens when the demand for energy is more and supply of oxygen is less, mainly during heavy exercise. The lactic acid thus formed is broken down by the supply of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotes can also undergo anaerobic respiration. Some examples include alcohol fermentation in yeast and lactic acid fermentation in mammals.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid. Fermentation follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+.
