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: -Waste materials like CO2 and water vapours are produced during this process. Cellular respiration can be summarized as follows: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (38ATP)

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: During anaerobic cellular respiration, glucose is broken down without oxygen. The chemical reaction transfers glucose energy to the cell. In fermentation, instead of carbon dioxide and water, lactic acid is produced which can lead to painful muscle cramps.

Detailed explanation-5: -C6H12O6 ⟶ 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP.
