Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of anaerobic respiration?
A
Glucose and oxygen
B
Carbon dioxide and water
C
Lactic acid/ Ethanol
D
Carbon monoxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Products of anaerobic respiration are ethyl alcohol & lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. The end product of anaerobic respiration in plants is ethanol.

Detailed explanation-3: -The products of anaerobic respiration are lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and water. Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen. Inside the cell cytoplasm, glucose breaks down into pyruvic acid. If oxygen is absent, then pyruvic acid converts into lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, as it only requires glucose. In animal cells and some bacterial cells, anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid. In yeast and plant cells, anaerobic respiration produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
