proteins under aerobic and

anaerobic reactions,
1. 1.The proteins are one of the macronutrients which are made up of amino acids, as amino acids are the building
blocks of proteins, where this metabolism occurs in the living body.
2. In case of any dead organic tissues or organs such as human bodies and other animal bodies, this may undergo
decomposition, and in that process, as we know the tissues and all are connected and made up by the proteins, and
these proteins in the dead tissues if they are hydrolyzed by the anaerobic bacteria, then this process is called
putrefaction.
3. In the process of putrefaction, while degradation of proteins they produce noxious substances such as gases which
are accumulated in the body and this accumulated gases, and it causes rotten smell and degrading smell of the body.
4. This process of anaerobic degradation is enhanced by some external environmental factors.
5. When coming to the other options such as degradation and decomposition, where this process also involves the
degradation of proteins, but this mechanism occurs both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, so these are wrong
options.

Note:- The degradation of proteins in the anaerobic conditions by microorganisms are called Putrefaction, and this
process is Increased in speed by various environmental and other factors, but if the body is made of any toxic or
poisonous substance, this process becomes delayed
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen in order to generate ATP. Although carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
are consumed as reactants, it is the preferred method of pyruvate breakdown in glycolysis and requires that
pyruvate enter the mitochondrion in order to be fully oxidized by the Krebs cycle. Aerobic respiration
includes, glycolysis, TCA cycle and ETS, where the intermediate is pyruvic acid. In anaerobic respiration
pyruvic acid is also an intermediate product.
