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

Detailed explanation-1: -Respiration can be of three types depending on the availability of oxygen. Aerobic respiration occurs in the abundance of oxygen in mitochondria and its end products are carbon dioxide and water. Anaerobic respiration occurs in absence of oxygen in yeast cells and its end products are carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol.

Detailed explanation-2: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells undergoing aerobic respiration produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 6 molecules of water, and up to 30 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is directly used to produce energy, from each molecule of glucose in the presence of surplus oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide and water are released as products of aerobic respiration.
