The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water). for Aerobic respiration.
The chemical equation is C6H12O6 -> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose -> Lactic acid).For Anaerobic respiraton.

Answer:
- Chemical equation for aerobic respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP).
- Chemical equations for anaerobic respiration: C6H12O6 ⟶ 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP.
Explanation:
1. Aerobic Respiration:
- When nutrients are broken down aerobically into carbon dioxide, water, and energy, an electron transport system is involved, with molecular oxygen serving as the system's final electron acceptor. The majority of eukaryotes and prokaryotes employ aerobic respiration to convert glucose into energy.
- Glycolysis, a transition reaction that produces acetyl coenzyme A, the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, an electron transport chain, and chemiosmosis are the four steps of aerobic respiration.
2. Anaerobic Respiration:
- Anaerobic respiration is the term for respiration that occurs without oxygen.
- Yeast and other microorganisms convert food (glucose) into ethanol, carbon dioxide, and energy.
- In the absence of oxygen, it is a sort of cellular respiration that generates energy.
- In an environment devoid of oxygen, lower species like bacteria and yeast use this sort of respiration.
- It happens in other organisms during strenuous activities like physical activity.
