NEETBotanyRespiration in Plants
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.
