Question

The Venn diagram compares aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

A Venn diagram is shown. One circle is labeled aerobic and the other circle is labeled anaerobic.

Which statement should be categorized only in the aerobic section of the Venn diagram?
occurs in the cytoplasm
produces water
requires no oxygen
is performed by yeast

Answer 1

"Produces water."

Reason: aerobic respiration uses O2 as the final electron acceptor and forms H2O.
- "Occurs in the cytoplasm" is not exclusive (glycolysis occurs in both).
- "Requires no oxygen" describes anaerobic.
- "Is performed by yeast" is not exclusive (yeast can perform both aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation).
