Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Look at your diagram. Which of the following is the reactant of aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
A
acetyl CoA
B
ethanol
C
PGAL
D
pyruvate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and glucose as reactants and makes ATP, carbon dioxide and water as products.

Detailed explanation-2: -In anaerobic respiration, glucose is the only reactant, which also makes option D incorrect, as glucose and carbon dioxide are listed as reactants here. While animal cells produce lactic acid when they carry out anaerobic respiration, yeast cells produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reactant is glucose and the product is lactic acid. 2 ATPs are generated as well. In plants and microorganisms (like yeast) alcoholic fermentation occurs. The reactant is glucose and the products are ethanol and carbon dioxide.
