Question

Distinguish the below given properties into Aerobic respiration and Anaerobic respiration.


1. Production of lactic acid at the end of respiration.

2. Respiration in muscles during heavy exercise.

3. Breakdown of food with the use of oxygen.

4. Production of water at the end of respiration.

5. Respiration seen in yeast.​

Answer 1

(1) Production of lactic acid at the end of respiration :

• Anaerobic Respiration

(2) Respiration in muscles during heavy exercise.

• Anaerobic Respiration

(3) Breakdown of food with the use of oxygen.

• Aerobic Respiration

(4) Production of water at the end of respiration.

• Aerobic Respiration

(5) Respiration seen in yeast.

• Anaerobic Respiration

Know more :

• Aerobic Respiration :

In the cell, the food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water using oxygen. When breakdown of glucose occurs with use of oxygen it is called Aerobic Respiration.

Example : Humans.

$\sf{glucose \: \underset{}{\xrightarrow{in \: presence \: of \: oxygen}} \: Carbon \: dioxide + water \: + energy \: }$

• Anaerobic Respiration :

The Breakdown of glucose without using oxygen is called Anaerobic respiration. The glucose breaks down into alcohol and carbon dioxide and energy.

Example : Yeast.

$\sf{glucose \: \underset{}{\xrightarrow{in \: absence \: of \: oxygen}} \: alcohol + carbon \: dioxide \: + energy \: }$
