Question

to show experimentally that carbon dioxide is given out during aerobic respiration​

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the basic and fundamental life processes that are carried out by living entities is respiration. It is a catabolic process wherein complex organic molecules are broken down into simpler molecules. The process releases energy either in the absence or presence of oxygen and hence respiration can be of two kinds:

Aerobic respiration – This kind of respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen, hence it results in the complete glucose oxidation with the release of energy. It includes three stages – namely, Krebs cycle, ETS and Glycolysis. All events relating to ETS take place inside mitochondria while stages connected with glycolysis take place in the cytoplasm.

Anaerobic respiration – In this type of respiration, oxidation of food takes place in an environment lacking oxygen supply. Less energy is released as a result of incomplete oxidation of glucose.
