Question

choose the molecule or process that is described by each phrase. lactic acid is a byproduct of this process: photosynthesis anaerobic respiration aerobic respiration

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light energy. Lactic acid is not a by - product of this process.
• Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and a large amount of energy. Lactic acid is not a by - product of this process.
• Anaerobic respiration is the process of breaking down glucose in the absence of oxygen. In animals, this process can produce lactic acid as a by - product.

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration
