Answer -
Name some organisms that use the anaerobic mode of respiration?
Answer
Aerobic respiration
• The process takes place in the presence of free oxygen
• The products of aerobic respiration are CO2, water and energy.
• The first step of aerobic respiration (glycolysis) takes place in cytoplasm while the next step takes place in mitochondria.
• The process of aerobic respiration takes place in all higher organisms.
• In this process complete oxidation of glucose takes place.
Anaerobic respiration
• The process takes place in the absence of the free oxygen.
• The products of anaerobic respiration are ethyl alcohol, CO2 and a little energy.
• Even in anaerobic respiration, the first step takes place in cytoplasm while the next step takes place in mitochondria.
• In this process the glucose molecules is incompletely broken down.
• The process of anaerobic respiration takes place in lower organism like yeast, some species of bacteria and parasites like tapeworm.
