Match Term Definition Anaerobic respiration A) The production of energy without the presence of oxygen Pyruvate B) An organic molecule that occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes Aerobic respiration C) The chemical breakdown of a substance Fermentation D) The breakdown of food to create energy in the presence of oxygen

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct match of terms with their descriptions are -

A.  anaerobic respiration

B. pyruvate

C. Fermentation

D. aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is the process that involves the production of energy from sugar or carbohydrate in absence of oxygen.

Pyruvate is the intermediate product or substance of the various metabolic process including cellular respiration.

The chemical breakdown of the sugars is known as fermentation.  It takes place due to the enzymatic reaction to change in the organic substance.

An aerobic respiration occurs in most eukaryotic organism in order to get energy by the breakdown of sugar or food in presence of the oxygen
