Question

What is difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration

1. Aerobic respiration refers to complete breakdown of metabolic fuels in presence of oxygen. 1. Anaerobic respiration is the process of partial breakdown of fuel (glucose) in absence of oxygen.

2. It includes glycolysis, citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The first two processes take place in the cytoplasm while last one occurs in mitochondria. 2. Glycolysis is followed by ethanol fermentation (occurs in yeast) or lactic acid fermentation (in muscles and microbes like lactic acid bacteria).

3. The end products are carbon dioxide and water. 3. End products of ethanol fermentation are ethanol and carbon dioxide; that of lactic acid fermentation are lactic acid

4. Owing to complete oxidation of glucose, a large amount of energy is produced (36-38 ATP molecules) 4. Incomplete oxidation of glucose does not release all stored energy and only 2 ATP molecules are produced.

Anaerobic respiration is carried out by yeast and other anaerobic organisms like lactic acid bacteria, E. coli, Staphylococcus, Clostridium etc.
