Question

Anaerobic respiration in animals produces:

• A. glucose and ${{O}_{2}}$
• B. lactic acid
• C. ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH$ and $C{{O}_{2}}$
• D. $C{{O}_{2}}$ and ${{H}_{2}}O$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

lactic acid

Answer 2

In anaerobic respiration (in absence of oxygen) incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place. Consequently less amount of energy released and lactic acid is produced. $_{Glu\cos e}^{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}\xrightarrow[\operatorname{Re}spiration]{Anaerobic}_{(Latic\,acid)}^{2{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}{{O}_{3}}}+energy$
