Sometimes when we do heavy exercise, anaerobic respiration takes place in our muscle cells. What is produced during this process?
(a) alcohol and lactic acid
(b) alcohol and CO2
(c) lactic acid and CO2
(d) lactic acid only
Aerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration
1. Oxygen is utilised for the
breakdown of respiratory
substrate.
2. It takes place in cytoplasm
(glycolysis) and inside
mitochondria (Krebs cycle)
3. End products are carbon
dioxide and water
4. More energy is released.
1. Oxygen...
