The correct sequence of anaerobic reactions in yeast is
(a) Glucose Pyruvate
Ethanol + Carbon dioxide
(b) Glucose Pyruvate
Lactic acid
(c) Glucose Pyruvate
Lactic acid
(d) Glucose Pyruvate
Ethanol + Carbon dioxide
Ans.(d)
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. It is carried out by yeast and some bacteria.
Glucose breaks down into pyruvates in absence of oxygen. The reaction is as follows:
Glucose Pyruvate
Ethanol + Carbon dioxide
Glucose breaks down into ethanol, carbon dioxide
