Question

Which of the following statements about anaerobic respiration is/are FALSE? Hint: multiple answer choice.

a.It yields equal amounts of ATP when compared to aerobic respiration
b.It does not involve ETS
c.only present in prokaryotes
d.The complete Krebs cycle is utilized aerober reserifation

Answer 1

Anaerobic respiration does not yield equal amounts of ATP as aerobic respiration, it does involve ETS, it can occur in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and does not utilize the complete Krebs cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The false statements about anaerobic respiration are:

1. It yields equal amounts of ATP when compared to aerobic respiration: Anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP compared to aerobic respiration.
2. It does not involve ETS: Anaerobic respiration does involve an electron transport system, but its final electron acceptor is usually an inorganic molecule.
3. Only present in prokaryotes: Anaerobic respiration can occur in both prokaryotes and some eukaryotes.
4. The complete Krebs cycle is utilized: In anaerobic respiration, the Krebs cycle is not fully utilized.
