the ANS should be D because in every form of respiration, energy is given off or produced.. The end products of anaerobic is usually energy,CO2 and lactic acid

Anaerobic respiration not enough oxygen may reach the muscles during exercise. When this happens, they use anaerobic respiration to obtain energy anaerobic respiration involves the incomplete breakdown of glucose. It releases around 5% of the energy released by aerobic respiration, per molecule ofglucose. The waste product islactic acidrather than carbon dioxide and water:glucose→lactic acid (+ little energy)

yes its correct in anaerobic d pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid in animal and alcohol in plant

B. Carbon dioxide is produced: This is incorrect. Carbon dioxide is produced during aerobic respiration when glucose is fully broken down in the presence of oxygen. In anaerobic respiration, glucose is not completely oxidized, and thus carbon dioxide is not produced.
D. Energy is not produced: This is incorrect. Although anaerobic respiration produces less energy compared to aerobic respiration, it still generates a net gain of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of cells.
To summarize, the event that does NOT occur during anaerobic respiration of glucose is option B: Carbon dioxide is produced.

Let's analyze each option in the context of anaerobic respiration of glucose:
**Understanding Anaerobic Respiration:**
* **Anaerobic respiration** is the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen.
* **Two Main Types:**
* **Lactic Acid Fermentation:** Glucose is converted to lactic acid.
* **Alcoholic Fermentation:** Glucose is converted to ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide.
**Analyzing the Options:**
* **A) Muscle cells produce lactic acid:** This is **true** and occurs during strenuous exercise when oxygen supply is limited.
* **B) Carbon dioxide is produced:** This is **true** in alcoholic fermentation, but not in lactic acid fermentation.
* **C) Milk bacteria produce lactic acid:** This is **true** and is how yogurt and cheese are made.
* **D) Energy is not produced:** This is **false**. Anaerobic respiration produces energy, although less than aerobic respiration.
* **E) Germinating seeds produce alcohol:** This is **true** in some plants under anaerobic conditions.
**The Question Asks for the Event That Does NOT Occur:**
* The only option that does not occur in *any* form of anaerobic respiration is that energy is not produced.
**Therefore, the correct answer is D) Energy is not produced.**

The selected answer is wrong:
Anaerobic respiration produces energy and gives off carbon dioxide,just that it produces two molecules of ATP but its still energy

I believe the basis of respiration is for energy production, so the correct answer should be D

The correct answer is D
For every type of respiration (aerobic and anaerobic), energy is always produced.
