How many types of Respiration explain them ?

Answer Posted / abhijit mehrotra

The process of Respiration of two types they are:

(1)Aerobic respiration

(2)Anaerobic respiration.

(1) Aerobic respiration:- In this case free oxygen is used in oxidizing the stored does and as a result of this water and carbon dioxide are formed as end products. In this type of respiration about 674 cal. Of energy is released.

(2) Anaerobic respiration:-Certain cacti, many tissues of higher plants, fleshy fruits etc. respire by means of this kind of respiration i.e. they respire in the absence of free oxygen. Here, incomplete oxidation of stored food tales place with the formation of ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and even some organic acids e.g. malic, citric, oxalic, tartaric acid. In this type of respiration only 23 cal. Of energy is released. The overall equation may be written as follows:-

C6H1206  2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 28 Cals
(Sugar ethyl alcohol + Carbon dioxide + energy)

Is This Answer Correct ?    0 Yes 0 No
