Differentiate between Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration.

Definition

  • Aerobic respiration is a set of metabolic reactions that take place in the presence of oxygen, occurring in a cell to convert chemical energy into ATPs.
  • Anaerobic respiration is a process of cellular respiration where the high energy electron acceptor is neither oxygen nor pyruvate derivatives.

Overall equation

  • The overall equation of aerobic respiration is:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

  • The overall equation of anaerobic respiration is:

C6H12O6 → C2H5OH + CO2 + energy

Presence of Oxygen

  • Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen.
  • Anaerobic respiration takes place in a condition where there is a low oxygen environment.

Exchange of gases

  • There is an exchange of gases during aerobic respiration where oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide is released.
  • The exchange of gases doesn’t take place during anaerobic respiration. However, some gases like sulfur and nitrogen gases are released by some organisms.

Location

  • Aerobic respiration, after glycolysis, occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotes and cytoplasm of prokaryotes.
  • Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the cytoplasm of a cell.

End products

  • The end products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
  • The end products of anaerobic respiration are acids, alcohols, gases, and energy.

Energy produced

  • A total of 38 ATPs are produced during aerobic respiration, some of which are lost during the process.
  • Only 2 ATPs are formed during anaerobic respiration.

Reactants

  • Carbohydrates and oxygen are the prerequisites of aerobic respiration.
  • Some other electron acceptors like sulfur and nitrogen are required along with the carbohydrates.

Oxidation

  • Complete oxidation of carbohydrates takes place during aerobic respiration.
  • Incomplete oxidation of carbohydrates takes place during anaerobic respiration.

Nature of the process

  • Aerobic respiration is comparatively longer than anaerobic respiration.
  • Anaerobic respiration is shorter than aerobic respiration.

Occurs in

  • Aerobic respiration occurs in most of the higher organisms like plants and animals.
  • Anaerobic respiration occurs in primitive prokaryotes. Anaerobic respiration also takes place in the muscle cells in humans during extreme movements.
