The flowchart is showing anaerobic respiration. Identify the processes A, B, and C. Name the products (i) and (ii) produced by these processes.

In anaerobic respiration, common processes include:

  • A: Glycolysis (the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate).
  • B: Fermentation (conversion of pyruvate to products like ethanol or lactic acid).
  • C: End product formation, such as ethanol (in yeast) or lactic acid (in muscles or bacteria).

The products could be:

    • (i) Ethanol or Lactic Acid.
    • (ii) Carbon dioxide or energy (ATP).
