Question
How does anaerobic respiration take place in most of the bacteria, muscles and yeast?
Solution
Bacteria and yeast respire anaerobically i.e., in absence of oxygen. Muscles of our body also carry out anaerobic respiration during excessive exercise or during short supply of oxygen.
During anaerobic respiration glucose is incompletely oxidised and broken down into lactic acid or alcohol.
(i) In muscles during short supply of O2:
(ii) In yeast:
