Q. Consider the following statements:
(1) In anaerobic organisms, glycolysis is the only process in respiration.
(2) The complete combustion of glucose, yields energy most of which is given out as ATP.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?

Respiration in Plants

Solution:

• The complete combustion of glucose, which produces $CO _2$ and $H _2 O$ as end products, yields energy most of which is given out as heat.
• In anaerobic organisms, glycolysis is the only process in respiration.
• Aerobic respiration is the process that leads to a complete oxidation or organic substances in the presence of oxygen, and releases $CO_2$, water and a large amount of energy present in the substrate
