Question
CBSEENBI11025151

Anaerobic respiration is also called :

  • restoration

  • fragmentation

  • multiplication

  • fermentation

Solution

D.

fermentation

Anaerobic respiration is respiration using electron acceptors other than molecular oxygen (O2).

After glycolysis, if oxygen is absent (anaerobic respiration), the pyruvic acid forms ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2) without the help of any cell organelle. This anaerobic process is called fermentation.
