choose all true statements about anaerobic respiration.
□ anaerobic respiration does not employ an electron transport chain.
□ several intermediates of the citric acid cycle are used as final electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration.
□ less atp is made in anaerobic respiration compared to aerobic (cellular) respiration.
□ the final electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration is an inorganic molecule other than oxygen.
□ anaerobic respiration is only performed by eukaryotes.

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration does use an electron - transport chain, so the first statement is false. Intermediates of the citric acid cycle are not typically final electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration makes less ATP than aerobic respiration as aerobic respiration has a more complete oxidation of glucose and a more efficient electron - transport chain. The final electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration is an inorganic molecule other than oxygen (such as nitrate, sulfate etc.). Anaerobic respiration is performed by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Answer:

C. Less ATP is made in anaerobic respiration compared to aerobic (cellular) respiration.
D. The final electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration is an inorganic molecule other than oxygen.
