Question

Energy released during anaerobic respiration is much less than energy released during aerobic respiration ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration in muscles

Glucose is not completely broken down, so much less energy is released than during aerobic respiration. There is a build-up of lactic acid in the muscles during vigorous exercise. The lactic acid needs to be oxidised to carbon dioxide and water later.

Answer 2

Energy released during anaerobic respiration is much less than energy released during aerobic respiration because complete breakdown of food takes place in aerobic respiration. But, anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of Oxygen and so only partial breakdown of food occurs.
