Which of the following events does NOT occur during anaerobic respiration of glucose?
Muscle cells produce lactic acid
Carbon dioxide is produced
Milk bacteria produce lactic acid
Energy is not produced
Germinating seeds produced alcohol

Explanation

Energy is produced during anaerobic respiration of glucose, although less than in aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose without oxygen, resulting in a lower ATP yield compared to aerobic respiration. Therefore, "energy is not produced" does not occur during anaerobic respiration of glucose.
