Evaluate this statement. Is it correct? Pick the option that has the best argument for/against this claim. “Anaerobic respiration is only used when aerobic respiration is not an option.” (1 point) Responses This is not correct, because some organisms cannot perform aerobic respiration, so anaerobic is the only option. This is not correct, because some organisms cannot perform aerobic respiration, so anaerobic is the only option. This is correct, because animals need aerobic respiration to live and cannot survive on anaerobic. This is correct, because animals need aerobic respiration to live and cannot survive on anaerobic. This is not correct, because some organisms are more efficient with anaerobic respiration, producing more ATP. This is not correct, because some organisms are more efficient with anaerobic respiration, producing more ATP. This is correct, because aerobic is more efficient than anaerobic, making it preferable.
This statement is not correct. Some organisms, such as certain types of bacteria and yeast, are unable to perform aerobic respiration and rely solely on anaerobic respiration for energy production. Therefore, anaerobic respiration is not only used when aerobic respiration is not an option, but it is the primary means of energy production for these organisms. Additionally, some organisms, like muscle cells during intense exercise, may switch to anaerobic respiration even when oxygen is available in order to meet energy demands, showing that anaerobic respiration can be used even in the presence of oxygen.
