Question

Match the following description with the appropriate type of respiration:

a. occurs in the mitochondria
b. resting muscles depend on this type of respiration
c. lactic acid builds up in muscle fibers
d. rapidly produces ATP for short time periods
e. produces large quantities of ATP but takes longer to synthesize

1. anaerobic respiration
2. aerobic respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. c, and d.

2. a, b, and e.

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is the short and quick way of producing energy, however, it produces less amount of energy than aerobic respiration and produces lactic acid as a byproduct. It takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and working or acting muscles depend on such respiration.

Aerobic respiration is the main and important respiration process that takes place in mitochondria and it takes time to produce ATPs that are much more than anaerobic respiration. Resting muscles get energy by this type of respiration.
