Question

The Vin diagram compare is aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration which statement should be categorized only in the aerobic section of the Venn diagram
A) occurs in the cytoplasm
B) produces water
C) requires no oxygen
D) is performance by yeast

Answer 1

Aerobic respiration is is the process that takes place in the presence of oxygen. In this oxygen is used to break down the amino acids, fatty acids and glucose and is the main process to generate ATP in the body.

Aerobic respiration does not occur in cytoplasm, it occurs in mitochondria. In cytoplasm. Anaerobic respiration takes place in cellular respiration hence in cytoplasm anaerobic respiration takes place.

Aerobic respiration produces water and carbon dioxide as the end product. Cells which undergo aerobic respiration can produce nearly 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 6 molecules of water and nearly 30 molecules ATP.

Aerobic respiration itself is a process that takes place in the presence of oxygen. It uses oxygen to break down glucose, fatty acids and amino acids and helps to generate ATP which is the main way to generate ATP to muscles.

Aerobic respiration is performed by mitochondria and not yeast. In yeast fermentation takes place which is a form of anaerobic respiration. Hence yeast undergo fermentation and not aerobic respiration.

Therefore the answer is B aerobic respiration produces water and carbon dioxide as the end products.
