Question

Define Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration.

Answer 1

Answer:

Aerobic Respiration:- Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen. Cells break down food in the mitochondria in a long, multistep process that produces roughly 36 ATP. The first step in is glycolysis, the second is the citric acid cycle and the third is the electron transport system.

Anaerobic respiration:- Anaerobic respiration is respiration using electron acceptors other than molecular oxygen (O2). Although oxygen is not the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain. ... Therefore, generally speaking, anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic.

Answer 2

Aerobic respiration: The process of breakdown of food in the presence of oxygen.

Anaerobic respiration: The process of breakdown of food in the absence of oxygen.
