Question

list the similarities and differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration​

Answer 1

Answer: aeroboic respiration occours in the prescence of oxygen while anaerobic respiration occours in the abscence of oxygen.

Explanation:

Similarities:-  

• Substrate ( starting molecule) for  both types of respiration is glucose.
• Both types of respiration have ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) as the end product.But aerobic respiration produces more ATP than anaerobic respiration.

• food gets oxidised and energy is produced in both the cases.

Differences :-

• Aerobic respiration takes place in presence of oxygen; whereas anaerobic respiration takes place in absence of oxygen.
• Carbon dioxide and water are the end products of aerobic respiration, while alcohol is the end product of anaerobic respiration.
• Aerobic respiration releases more energy than anaerobic respiration.
