Which of the following statements about anaerobic respiration is FALSE?
A. It yields lower amounts of ATP when compared to aerobic respiration.
B. It involves the reduction of an organic final electron acceptor.
C. It generates ATP.
D. It may involve the electron transport chain
Revelant knowledge
Anaerobic (cellular) respiration is a process of respiration that is found within both prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes where cells break down sugar molecules in order to generate the energy without oxygen. Although fermentation is a simple glycolysis process, some anaerobic forms of respiration utilize using the electron transportation chain to transfer electrons to the final electron acceptor.
Answer: B. It involves the reduction of an organic final electron acceptor.
Explanation: Cellular respiration can either be aerobic or anaerobic. Anaerobic respiration produces about 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration only produces about 2 ATP. The aerobic respiration produces more ATP than the anaerobic. Anaerobic respiration involves the electron transport chain, but does not use oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor.
