Students have asked these similar questions
A student lists some characteristics of anaerobic respiration.
1. It produces 36 molecules of ATP.
2. It uses oxygen to produce energy.
3. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
4. It results in the production of lactic acid.
Which characteristics did the student list incorrectly?
Characteristics 2 and 3 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces
energy without oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria of a cell.
Characteristics 1 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2
molecules of ATP and does not produce lactic acid.
Characteristics 3 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration occurs in
the mitochondria of a cell and does not produce lactic acid.
O
Characteristics 1 and 2 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2
molecules of ATP and produces energy without oxygen.
Fossils of a microscopic organism are found in rocks determined to be from a past era of time.
Identify TWO types of evidence that would help answer the question of whether the organism was
able to undergo aerobic cellular respiration.
Considering the negative aspects of anaerobic respiration, how could natural selection have produced something so inefficient?
