Aerobic respiration:
Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen.
Complete breakdown of food occurs in aerobic respiration.
The end products in aerobic respiration are carbon-dioxide and water.
Aerobic respiration produces a considerable amount of energy.
Example: Human Beings. Anaerobic respiration:
Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen.
Partial breakdown of food occurs in anaerobic respiration.
The end products in anaerobic respiration are ethanol and carbon-dioxide (in yeast) and lactic acid (in animal muscles).
Much less energy is produced in anaerobic respiration.
Example: Yeast.

There are five animals P, Q, R, S and T. The animal P always lives in water and has gills for breathing. The animal Q can stay in water as well as on land and can breathe both, through moist skin and lungs. The animal R lives in soil and breathes only through its skin. The animal S lives on land and breathes through spiracles and tracheae. And animal T lives in water and breathes through its cell membrane.
Some sugar solution is taken in a test-tube and a little of substance X in powder form is added to it. The mouth of test - tube is closed with a cork and allowed to stand for sometime. On opening the cork, a characteristic smell of substance Y is obtained and a gas Z is also observed to be formed. The gas Z extinguishes a burning matchstick.
What could be X, Y and Z?
What is the process of converting sugar into substance Y by the action of X known as?
What type of respiration is exhibited by X in the above process?
