Vedclass · Answer

(A) Anaerobic respiration in yeast, also known as fermentation, occurs in the absence of oxygen.In this process, glucose is broken down into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$.The chemical equation is: $C_6H_{12}O_6 ightarrow 2C_2H_5OH + 2CO_2 + 	ext{Energy}$.Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration in human muscle cells, not in yeast.Therefore, the correct substances produced are carbon dioxide and alcohol.
