Question

Evaluate the following statement and pick the option that correctly argues why this statement is incorrect.
"Anaerobic and aerobic respiration both use oxygen to produce energy and carbon dioxide. Both types of respiration occur at the same speed and break down glucose." (1 point)

This is not correct because anaerobic respiration does not produce carbon dioxide.

This is not correct because aerobic respiration does not produce glucose.

This is not correct because aerobic respiration occurs quicker than anaerobic respiration.

This is not correct because anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.

Answer 1

"This is not correct because anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen."

Explanation: Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces CO2 and lots of ATP. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and yields much less ATP; in animals it produces lactic acid (no CO2), while some anaerobic pathways (e.g., yeast fermentation) produce ethanol and CO2.
