Sometimes, higher plants and animals too perform anaerobic respiration.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. Respiration is an energy yielding process and takes place by the oxidation of foodstuffs.
ii. Higher plants and animals require oxygen in order to respire aerobically.
iii. However,in conditions where oxygen is depleted, these organisms perform anaerobic respiration to obtain energy.
iv. Glucose is incompletely oxidized and a comparatively lesser amount of energy is obtained through anaerobic respiration.
Therefore, sometimes, higher plants and animals too perform anaerobic respiration.

Answer the following questions in detail: Why some living organisms have to perform anaerobic respiration?

Cellular respiration is the oxidation of foodstuffs for the production of energy. During aerobic respiration, complete oxidation of glucose takes place.Contradictor to this, glucose is incompletely oxidized durin anaerobic respiration . Many microbesare capacble of surviving anaerobically in environments that lack oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs via two steps,namely glycolysis and fermentation. The pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is converted to organic acids or alcohols during anaerobic process. higher animals and plants, or seeds submerged in soil under water are capable of performing anaerobic respiration, when the oxygen levels are depleted .Even body cells like erythrocytes and mscle cells perform anaerobic respiration. Considering that only glycolysis is generating energy currency , how many ATP would be formed during anaerobic respiration?
