What is the equation for anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells?

Answer

The equation for anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells can be represented as follows:

In this equation:

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is the substrate that undergoes fermentation.

The products of this process are ethanol (C₂H₅OH), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

This process occurs during fermentation in yeast and some plant cells when oxygen is unavailable, allowing them to generate energy anaerobically. In yeast, this process is commonly referred to as alcoholic fermentation, which is crucial for applications such as brewing and baking.
