Question 8 • Biology

Which statement about anaerobic respiration is true?

Answer
A
Anaerobic respiration is used commercially in the production of beer, wine, bread, yogurt, and cheese.
B
Anaerobic respiration prevents muscle fatigue.
C
Anaerobic respiration can provide energy to animals for several days in the absence of oxygen.
D
Anaerobic respiration generates a high yield of ATP.

Explanation

Anaerobic processes are used commercially to make foods and drinks: yeast fermentation helps produce beer, wine, and bread, while bacteria are used to make yogurt and cheese. Anaerobic energy production yields much less ATP than aerobic respiration, so it cannot sustain animals for several days or prevent muscle fatigue.
