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 

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.
