How is glucose oxidized in different ways in anaerobic respiration?
Answer
In anaerobic respiration, glucose is oxidized through glycolysis to produce pyruvate. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate undergoes fermentation. In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is converted into lactic acid. In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvate is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
