Question

Give reasons for the following
why is anaerobic respiration less less efficient? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In anaerobic respiration, less energy is extracted. In this process only 02 ATP molecules are produced by each glucose molecule and the glucose molecules are partially broken down. The reaction yields less energy as compared to the aerobic respiration because the end product is alcohol and not carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Because anaerobic respiration breaks glucose in absence of oxygen , and hence produces only Two ATP molecules . So the Energy supply level of an organism respiring anaerobically is inconsistent and low.
