NEETBotanyRespiration in Plants
Which type of respiration is most common in higher organisms?
Options
- AAnaerobic respiration
- BAerobic respiration
- CFermentation
- DGlycolysis
Correct answer
B. Aerobic respiration
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.
