All but which of the following are characteristics of aerobic respiration?
A
Occurs in the mitochondria
B
Requires oxygen
C
Produces lactic acid as a byproduct
D
Produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the characteristics of aerobic respiration: Aerobic respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of cells and requires oxygen to produce energy.
Understand the byproducts of aerobic respiration: The main byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Recognize the byproducts of anaerobic respiration: In contrast, anaerobic respiration, such as lactic acid fermentation, produces lactic acid as a byproduct.
Compare the given options with the characteristics of aerobic respiration: Check each option to see if it aligns with the known characteristics of aerobic respiration.
Determine the option that does not fit: Since aerobic respiration does not produce lactic acid, identify 'Produces lactic acid as a byproduct' as the characteristic that does not belong to aerobic respiration.
