Why is energy required by the body?
A. For creating glucose and oxygen
B. For respiration
C. For movement (muscle contraction) and keeping warm.
What are the differences between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?
A. Anaerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria, releases less energy and forms lactic acid that causes cramp. Aerobic respiration occurs in cytoplasm, releases more energy and forms carbon dioxide and water which do not cause cramp.
B. Anaerobic respiration takes place in cytoplasm, releases less energy and forms lactic acid that causes cramp. Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria, releases more energy and forms carbon dioxide and water which do not cause cramp.
C. Anaerobic respiration takes place in cytoplasm, releases less energy and does not cause cramp. Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria, releases more energy and causes cramp.
