Question

list in a tabular form three differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Answer 1

Aerobic Respiration

• Oxygen is present when this form of respiration takes place.
• Gases are exchanged in this form of respiration.
• It can be found in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria.
• Glucose breaks down into carbon-di-oxide and water.
• All organisms such as mammals have this type of respiration.

Anaerobic Respiration

• Oxygen is absent when this form of respiration takes place.
• Gases are not exchanged in this form of respiration.
• It can be found only in the cytoplasm.
• glucose breaks down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy
• Lower organisms such as bacteria and yeast use this type. In other organisms, it occurs during heavy activities

Answer 2

■ Anaerobic respiration

♤ 1. This process take place in absence of oxygen.

♤ 2. Incomplete breakdown of glucose take place.

♤ 3. End products are Ethanol, Carbon dioxide and Energy.

♤ 4. It occurs in yeast and sometimes in muscle cell of human being.

♤ 5. Less amount of energy is released during this process.

■ Aerobic respiration

♤ 1. This process take place in the presence of oxygen.

♤ 2. Complete breakdown of glucose take place.

♤ 3. End products are Carbon dioxide,Water and Energy.

♤ 4. It occurs in plants and animals.

♤ 5. More amount of energy is released during this process.
