Question

During respiration of an organism 'A' one molecule of oxygen producers two ATP molecules whereas in the respiration of another organism 'B' one molecule of glucose produces one molecule of 38 ATP molecules.
(a) which organism undergoes aerobic respiration?
(b) which organism undergoing anaerobic respiration.
(c)which type of organism 'A' or'B'can convert glucose into alcohol.
(d) name one organism which behaves like' A'.
(e) name one organism which behave like 'B'.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) Aerobic Respiration: It is the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food. This type of respiration is common in most of the plants and animals, birds, humans, and other mammals. In this process, water and carbon dioxide are produced as end products.

b) Certain prokaryotes, including some species of bacteria and archaea, use anaerobic respiration. For example, the group of archaea called methanogens reduces carbon dioxide to methane to oxidize NADH.

c) In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down to form alcohol and carbon dioxide with the release of small amount of energy. Hence, organism A can convert glucose into alcohol. (d) Yeast behaves like organism A.

d) In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down to form alcohol and carbon dioxide with the release of small amount of energy. Hence, organism A can convert glucose into alcohol. (d) Yeast behaves like organism A.

e) anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down to form alcohol and carbon dioxide with the release of small amount of energy. Hence, organism A can convert glucose into alcohol. (d) Yeast behaves like organism A. (e) Humans and dogs behave like organism B.
