Where does the process of anaerobic respiration occur?
In the cytoplasm of the cell
In mitochondria
Within ribosomes
Which of the following statements is true about aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration produces much more energy per glucose molecule than anaerobic respiration
The products of anaerobic respiration contain less energy than the products of aerobic respiration
More species of organism obtain their energy anaerobically than aerobically.
Which of the following is produced when a plant respires anaerobically?
Starch and cellulose
Ethanol and carbon dioxide
Lactic acid
Which of the following is the breakdown product of amino acids in humans?
Urea

Fatty acids
Which of the following is true of an athlete after intense exercise?
Their body has increased its glycogen content

Which of the following best explains why yeast is used to make bread?
The alcohol produced by anaerobic respiration adds flavour to the bread
The carbon dioxide produced by anaerobic respiration makes the dough rise
Yeast respires anaerobically to produce lactic acid, which produces the sour dough needed to make bread
