RESPIRATION IN PLANTS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
anaerobic cellular respiration can be used to produce energy in the absence of ____
A
carbon dioxide
B
oxygen
C
glucose
D
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the absence of oxygen, the glucose derived from food is broken down into alcohol and carbon dioxide along with the production of energy. Anaerobic respiration is also used by multi-cellular organisms, like us, as a temporary response to oxygen-less conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen. Aerobic respiration is the burning or oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen is known as anaerobic respiration. The two major types of anaerobic respiration include lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. This process produces small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen gas.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fermentation is a special type of anaerobic respiration carried out by microorganisms. Common yeast is a microorganism which can carry out alcoholic fermentation where they respire in absence of oxygen produces alcohol, carbon dioxide and less amount of energy.
