JIPMER2006BotanyRespiration in Plants
The incomplete breakdown of sugars in anaerobic respiration results in the formation of :
Options
- Afructose and water
- Bglucose and CO ₂
- Calcohol and CO ₂
- Dwater and CO ₂
Correct answer
C. alcohol and CO ₂
Step-by-step solution
The anaerobic respiration occurs in many bacteria, some fungi, germinating seeds and some fruits. It involves the incomplete breakdown of sugars forming C ₂ H ₅ OH and CO ₂ as end products and 27 kcal energy is released.
