Question

Differentiation of aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

Aerobic denotes the term ‘in the presence of oxygen’ while the word anaerobic denotes the ‘absence of oxygen’. So the respiration which occurs in the presence of oxygen is called as aerobic respiration, on the other hand, respiration occurring in the absence of oxygen is known anaerobic respiration.

Answer 2

Answer:

Aerobic Respiration

• It occurs in the presence of oxygen.
• Glucose is completely oxidized.
• End products are carbon dioxide and water.
• more energy is produced.
• it occurs in most of the plants and animals.

Anaerobic Respiration

• it occurs in absence of oxygen.
• glucose is oxidised in completely.
• end products are either alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide.
• very little energy is produced.
• it occurs in few organisms like yeast, bacteria and some parasitic flatworms.
