Question

difference between aerobic and aneorocbic activities

Answer 1

Respiration is a continuous process in every living organism and without respiration no organism can survive on the earth. The respiration is defined as yeah process of “oxidation of food materials especially glucose, fatty acids and amino acids to water and carbon dioxide”. there are mainly two types of respiration called aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The main aim of this article is to communicate the differences between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Aerobic Respiration is the type of respiration which takes place in the presence of oxygen. The aerobic respiration is generally common in all multi cellular organisms like animals, plants, human beings, etc.


ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION

Anaerobic Respiration is the type of respiration which is carried out by yeast or muscle cells in the absence of oxygen. The anaerobic respiration is common in unicellular organisms like protozoa, fungi, bacteria, etc.



DIFFERENCES TABLE

SIMILARITIES

⦿ Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration takes place in the both multi cellular and the unicellular organisms.

⦿ The glycolysis stage is common for both the aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

⦿ ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is released in both types of respiration.

⦿ Conversion of glucose into pyruvate acid is common for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration .
