what are the end products of aerobic and anaerobic respirations
Answers
The end product of aerobic respiration are : carbon dioxide and water .
The end product of anaerobic respiration are : alcohol or lactic acid
Answer:
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.
Aerobic respiration occurs when your cells produce energy in the presence of oxygen. The three key steps of aerobic respiration are glycolysis where the sugar glucose is broken down, the Kreb's cycle where products from glycolysis are converted to other molecules and cellular energy and the electron-transport chain where molecules from the Kreb's cycle split apart to fuel the cell. Throughout this process, molecules are produced as others are broken down. Some of these end products are waste that the cell must get rid of, while other products provide energy for cellular activity.
Anaerobic respiration in muscles. Glucose is not completely broken down, so much less energy is released than during aerobic respiration. There is a build-up of lactic acid in the muscles during vigorous exercise. The lactic acid needs to be oxidised to carbon dioxide and water later.
