In the process of aerobic respiration, the final product is -
In the process of aerobic respiration, the final product is - Correct Answer CO<sub>2</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>O
The correct answer is CO2 + H2O.
Key Points
- Aerobic respiration is the process of cellular respiration to produce energy from food in the presence of oxygen.
- This respiration is common in most plants and animals, humans, other mammals, and birds.
- The chemical equation of aerobic respiration is following
- C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy
- Hence according to the equation, this respiration's last product is CO2 and H2O.
Additional Information
There are two types of respiration
- Aerobic Respiration- In the Presence of oxygen.
- Anaerobic respiration- In absence of oxygen.
- Equation of anaerobic respiration
- C6H12O6 → 2C2H5O H + 2CO2 + Energy
- Equation of anaerobic respiration
Important Points
Respiration is of 2 types:
|
Aerobic Respiration |
Anaerobic Respiration |
|
It takes place in the presence of oxygen. |
It takes place in the absence of oxygen. |
|
A complete breakdown of food occurs. |
A partial breakdown of food occurs. |
|
The end products are carbon dioxide and water. |
The end products may be ethanol and carbon dioxide as found in yeast or lactic acid as seen in animal muscles. |
|
It releases 38 ATP per glucose molecule. |
It releases only 2 ATP per glucose molecule. |
