    Anaerobic respiration in animals produces:

    A) glucose and \[{{O}_{2}}\]

    B) lactic acid            

    C)       \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] and \[C{{O}_{2}}\]                                    

    D) \[C{{O}_{2}}\] and \[{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In anaerobic respiration (in absence of oxygen) incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place. Consequently less amount of energy released and lactic acid is produced.        \[_{Glu\cos e}^{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}\xrightarrow[\operatorname{Re}spiration]{Anaerobic}_{(Latic\,acid)}^{2{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}{{O}_{3}}}+energy\]
