To identify the formula that represents anaerobic respiration, you would look for lactic acid as a product. This is because anaerobic respiration, particularly in muscle cells, produces lactic acid as a byproduct when oxygen is not available. In plants and some microorganisms, anaerobic respiration may produce ethanol and carbon dioxide, but the presence of lactic acid specifically indicates anaerobic respiration in animals.
If only given formulas to examine, how could you identify the formula that would represent anaerobic respiration?(1 point)
