(A) Organism $B$ is undergoing aerobic respiration because it produces a high yield of $38$ $ATP$ molecules per glucose molecule.
$(b)$ Organism $A$ is undergoing anaerobic respiration because it produces a low yield of only $2$ $ATP$ molecules per glucose molecule.
$(c)$ Organism $A$ can convert glucose into alcohol through the process of fermentation.
$(d)$ Yeast is an organism that behaves like $A$ (undergoes anaerobic respiration).
$(e)$ Human beings and aerobic bacteria are two examples of organisms that behave like $B$ (undergo aerobic respiration).
