Answers
Explain the ways in which glucose is broken down in absence or shortage of oxygen.
Breaking down of glucose in absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.
It is carried by muscles, bacteria , yeast and other microorganisms.
In the absence of oxygen or lack or lack of oxygen the break down of glucose takes place in 2 ways :-
1. In muscles :- When we do vigorous exercise the muscles starts producing lactic acid and carbon dioxide as the products because of lack of oxygen.
2. In Microorganisms :- The microorganism which perform respiration in absence of oxygen or lack of oxygen produces Alcohol as there product.
Yeast is used for fermenting to produce alcohol. Yeast perform anaerobic respiration.
