The balanced chemical equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast is:

Balanced Chemical Equation for Anaerobic Respiration in Yeast

Explanation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ represents glucose.

C₂H₅OH is ethanol (alcohol).
CO₂ is carbon dioxide.

In this reaction, one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of ethanol and two molecules of carbon dioxide. This process, known as alcoholic fermentation, occurs in yeast and is essential for the production of alcoholic beverages and bread.
