During the respiration of an organism A, 1 molecule of glucose produces 2
ATP molecules whereas in the
respiration of another organism B, 1
molecule of glucose produces 38 ATP
molecules. Which of the organisms, A
or B has anaerobic mode of
respiration? Explain with reason.

The correct answer is - organism A is anaerobic.

Explanation:

Organism A can convert glucose into alcohol, as it undergoes anaerobic respiration, however, there is an incomplete breakdown of glucose. In this process, there are only two molecules of pyruvate formed, and the rest convert to lactic acid or ethanol.

The energy is only enough to release two ATPs. In the aerobic process, there is a complete breakdown of glucose in CO2 and H2O with 38 ATPs.

The correct answer is - organism A is anaerobic.

b is dominant over the allele for the white fur.
