What are the end products of aerobic respiration?
Options
- AGlucose and oxygen
- BCO₂, water, and energy
- CLactic acid and CO₂
- DEthanol and water
Correct answer
B. CO₂, water, and energy
Step-by-step solution
In eukaryotes these steps take place within the mitochondria and this requires O₂ . Aerobic respiration is the process that leads to a complete oxidation of organic substances in the presence of oxygen, and releases CO₂ , water and a large amount of energy present in the substrate. This type of respiration is most common in higher organisms.
