Question

unit 2 test 29 of 30 a student lists some characteristics of anaerobic respiration. 1. it produces 36 molecules of atp. 2. it uses oxygen to produce energy. 3. it occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. 4. it results in the production of lactic acid. which characteristics did the student list incorrectly? characteristics 2 and 3 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces energy without oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. characteristics 3 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of a cell and does not produce lactic acid. characteristics 1 and 2 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2 molecules of atp and produces energy without oxygen. characteristics 1 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2 molecules of atp and does not produce lactic acid.

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm. It produces 2 molecules of ATP and generates energy without oxygen. Lactic - acid fermentation (a type of anaerobic respiration) can produce lactic acid. So, characteristics 1 (produces 36 molecules of ATP) and 2 (uses oxygen to produce energy) are incorrect.

Answer:

Characteristics 1 and 2 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2 molecules of ATP and produces energy without oxygen.
