Answer 2

                                         Floating respiration

• Floating respiration is a type of cellular respiration or exchange of gases which utilizes carbohydrates or fats as the substrate for respiration.
• The substrate is usually obtained from the storage materials which get hydrolysed.
• This respiration is a continuous process throughout the life of a cell.
• Glucose and sucrose are the carbohydrate substrate forms and fats get converted to fatty acids and glycerol to act as substrate to enter the oxidation pathway during floating respiration.
• Floating respiration makes the cells healthier and does not produce any toxic by-products.
