Question

what is aerobic and anaerobic respiration?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

aerobic res.means respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic res.means respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen

Answer 2

Respiration

Respiration is the oxidative breakdown of the respiratory substrate:glucose in humans,in turn giving out energy. On the basis of their occurrence, respiration are of two types: Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic Respiration

Aerobic Respiration

• Aerobic Respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen

• It occurs in both cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell

• It gives out from energy compared to anaerobic respiration,around 38ATP

• Complete breakdown of the respiratory substrate

• On oxidation,produces water and carbon-dioxide while releasing some heat energy

E.g., Humans

Anaerobic Respiration

• It occurs in the absence of oxygen

• Only occurs in the mitochondria of a cell

• Lesser energy output compared to the latter: 2ATP

• Incomplete breakdown of glucose

• On oxidation,it either yields Lactic Acid or Ethanol with minimal energy

E.g, Yeast,Human Muscle Cells etc
