Question

(Assertion): Aerobic respiration requires less energy as compared to anaerobic respiration.
Reason: Mitochondria is the power house of the cell.
Answer it please

Answer 1

Assertion is false and Reason is true.

Explanation:

• In aerobic respiration, it splits glucose into two molecules of pyruvate in the absence of oxygen and it releases enough energy.
• In the presence of oxygen, glucose breaks down to form carbon dioxide and it produce 38 ATP molecules.
• The energy releases in aerobic respiration is more than the anaerobic respiration.
• Since, mitochondria extracts energy from food, it is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
• The extraction of energy from food takes place through cellular respiration.
• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy released from cellular respiration.
• The metabolic activity of the cell is regulated by mitochondria.

Answer 2

Answer:

A is false and R is true

Explanation:

This is because during aerobic respiration MORE ENERGY IS RELEASED by our body which is about 38 ATP molecules whereas during anaerobic respiration only 2 ATP molecules are released.

Mitochondria is indeed the powerhouse of the cell as creates the ATP molecules required for releasing energy in our body. Hence if there is no mitochondria the cell will die.
