Question

Respiration can occur in two different manners. What are they? Briefly explain the process

of aerobic respiration. How does it differ from anaerobic respiration? With equations​

Answer 1

Answer:

The primary difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is the presence or absence of oxygen during the processes. More detailed differences are between the two are as follows:

Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration

Oxygen is present when this form of respiration takes place. Oxygen is absent when this form of respiration takes place.

Gases are exchanged in this form of respiration. Gases are not exchanged in this form of respiration.

It can be found in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria. It can be found only in the cytoplasm.

Glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Glucose breaks down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy.

All higher organisms such as mammals have this type of respiration. Lower organisms such as bacteria and yeast use this type. In other organisms, it occurs during heavy activities.
