Answer
View full question & answer→i. Organism B undergoes aerobic respiration. In aerobic respiration more ATP is produced.
ii. Organism A undergoes anaerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration less ATP is produced.
iii. Organism A can convert glucose into alcohol
iv. Yeast (anaerobic respiration)
v. Human being (aerobic respiation)
Anaerobic respiration can be of 2 types one is known as fermentation in which end products are ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide along with ATP and other one is when pyruvate gets converted to lactic acid and carbon dioxide along with ATP.
