    The net gain of ATP in anaerobic respiration is:

    A)  2                                            

    B)  4

    C)  36                                         

    D)  32

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Anaerobic respiration leads to breakdown of glucose into pyruvic and conversion of pyruvic acid to ethyl alcohol. Hence,  Net gain from glycolysis \[~=2NADH+{{H}^{+}}+2ATP\] Loss in anaerobic respiration of P. acid \[=2NADH+{{H}^{+}}\] Balance = 2ATP
