Question

which statement about anaerobic respiration is true?anaerobic respiration prevents muscle fatigue.anaerobic respiration generates a high yield of atp.anaerobic respiration is used commercially in the production of beer, wine, bread, yogurt, and cheese.anaerobic respiration can provide energy to animals for several days in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

• Anaerobic respiration does not prevent muscle fatigue; lactic acid build - up from it causes muscle fatigue.
• Anaerobic respiration (like glycolysis) yields only 2 ATP per glucose molecule, while aerobic respiration yields around 36 - 38 ATP, so it does not have a high yield of ATP.
• In the production of beer (yeast fermentation), wine (yeast fermentation), bread (yeast fermentation - CO₂ makes it rise), yogurt (lactic acid fermentation by bacteria), and cheese (lactic acid fermentation by bacteria), anaerobic respiration (fermentation) is used.
• Animals cannot rely on anaerobic respiration for several days. Glycolysis (anaerobic) can provide energy for a short time (e.g., during intense exercise for a few minutes), but not for days.

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration is used commercially in the production of beer, wine, bread, yogurt, and cheese.
