Question

question 17
what is anaerobic respiration?
a process that releases energy from food in the absence of oxygen
a process that releases energy from food that is more efficient than aerobic respiration
a process that releases energy from food only found in bacteria
a process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is defined as a process that releases energy from food in the absence of oxygen. Aerobic respiration (which occurs in the presence of oxygen) is more efficient than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is not only found in bacteria (e.g., some muscle cells in animals can undergo anaerobic respiration briefly).

Answer:

A. A process that releases energy from food in the absence of oxygen
