Question

Responses

Answer 1

The statement is incorrect because anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen to produce energy and carbon dioxide. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and produces energy and waste products such as lactic acid or ethanol. It is less efficient than aerobic respiration and does not break down glucose completely.
