Evaluate the following statement and pick the option that correctly argues why this statement is incorrect.

Question

"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."
A. This is not correct because aerobic occurs quicker than anaerobic respiration
B. This is not correct because anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen
C. This is not correct because anaerobic respiration does not produce carbon dioxide
D. This is not correct because anaerobic respiration does not produce glucose

Answer 1

The correct option that argues why the statement is incorrect is:

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

Anaerobic respiration, by definition, does not utilize oxygen, which directly contradicts the statement.
