Respiration & Gaseous Exchange
Solution
Which of the following events does NOT occur during anaerobic respiration of glucose?
A
Muscle cells produce lactic acid
B
Carbon dioxide is produced
C
Milk bacteria produce lactic acid
D
Energy is not produced
E
Germinating seeds produced alcohol
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Energy is produced during anaerobic respiration of glucose, although less than in aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose without oxygen, resulting in a lower ATP yield compared to aerobic respiration. Therefore, "energy is not produced" does not occur during anaerobic respiration of glucose.
