Question

What is the amount of energy released during aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

(a) Aerobic respiration is the complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen. So, it produces more energy. On the other hand, anaerobic respiration is the incomplete breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen. So, it produces less energy.

Answer 2

Aerobic respiration releases 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration from the same amount of glucose.
