Cellular Respiration

Question 10 • First Semester Biology

Which statement about anaerobic respiration is true?

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

Explanation

Anaerobic respiration releases energy without oxygen, and microorganisms use this process in fermentation. Fermentation is commercially important in making beer, wine, and bread, as well as some yogurt and cheese. It produces a relatively small amount of ATP, so it does not prevent muscle fatigue or sustain animals for several days without oxygen.
