Sometimes when we do heavy exercise, anaerobic respiration takes place in our muscle cells. What is produced during this process?
  • A
    Alcohol and lactic acid.
  • B
    Alcohol and $CO_2.$
  • C
    Lactic acid and $CO_2.$
  • Lactic acid only.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Lactic acid only.
During heavy exercise, anaerobic respiration takes place in our muscle cells. This happens as the oxygen gets used up faster in our muscle cells than can be supplied by the blood.
To produce extra energy for exercise, the muscle cells shift to anaerobic respiration.
$\text{Glucose}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \text{No oxygen}\ \ \ \ \ }\text{Lactic acid}+\text{Energy}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{in muscles, anaerobic}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{respiration}$

Which of the following is most likely to have a much higher breathing rate?
  • A
    Man
  • B
    Dog
  • C
    Sparrow
  • Fish
Answer
Correct option: D.
Fish
The smaller the size of the animal, higher is the metabolic rate and higher the respiratory $($breathing$)$ rate.
This is because a smaller size means a higher surface area to volume ratio and, therefore, a higher need for oxygen to be supplied to the different tissues.
Since fishes are smaller in size they will have a much higher breathing rate.

Boojho, has taken three test tubes with half-filled water and kept some organisms. But he wants to know which tube has highest concentration of Carbo dioxide?
  • Snail, in $A$ test tube
  • B
    Plant, in $B$ test tube
  • C
    Snail and plant, in $C$ test tube
  • D
    None of the above
Answer
Correct option: A.
Snail, in $A$ test tube

Test tube $(A)$ contains a snail in water.
The snail will use of oxygen for respiration and produce carbon dioxide.
Test tube $(B)$ contains a “water plant” in water.
The water plant will do photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide and water and produce oxygen.
The water plant will use some of this oxygen for respiration and produce carbon dioxide.
This carbon dioxide will then be used by the plant in photosynthesis.
Test tube $(C)$ contains both, a snail and a water plant.
The carbon dioxide produced by the respiration is snail will be all used up by the water plant in photosynthesis.
We conclude that the test tube containing only snail will have the highest concentration of $CO_2$ because there is no plants to use up the carbon dioxide produced during the respiration in snail.
