what is respiration? difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Answers
Respiration is the process a breakdown of food which results in oxidation needed for some of the activities in cells
aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen more amount of energy is released
It takes place in mitochondria
Water carbon dioxide and energy is released
Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen
It results in the release of less amount of energy
It also releases ethanol lactic acid and some amount of energy
It takes place in cytoplasm
Answer:
The process of breaking down of glucose into energy or alcohol ( ethanol ) is known as Respiration. It involves two stages
a. Kreb's cycle
b. Glycolysis
Aerobic denotes the term ‘in the presence of oxygen’ while the word anaerobic denotes the ‘absence of oxygen’. So the respiration which occurs in the presence of oxygen is called as aerobic respiration, on the other hand, respiration occurring in the absence of oxygen is known anaerobic respiration.
Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration includes convertion of glucose into pyruvate ( 3 carbon molecule) inside the cytoplasm
