Question: What is the end product of anaerobic respiration?
Options:
Pyruvic acid and energy
Alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy
Carbon dioxide and water
Carbon dioxide, water and energy
The correct answer is Alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy.
Concept-
-An important feature of all living cells is respiration which is related to the liberation of metabolic energy as ATP.
-Respiration is an amphibolic and exergonic cellular process.
-Respiration is of two types.
-Aerobic respiration- with the use of oxygen. Eg plants
-The equation of Aerobic Respiration
-Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
-Anaerobic respiration- without the use of oxygen. Eg yeast
-The equation of Anaerobic Respiration
-Glucose → Alcohol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
-2 molecules of ATP are obtained by the anaerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose.
-Respiration is a glucose degradation mechanism with the aid of molecular oxygen to generate ATP.
-It requires both glycolysis and phosphorylation.
-Glycolysis is the first step of glucose degradation that occurs in the absence of oxygen and transforms one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules.
-During this cycle, 4 ATP molecules are generated and 2 ATP molecules are consumed.
