Question

What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?​

Answer 1

Aerobic Respiration

♦Proceeds in the presence of oxygen.

♦Complete break down of glucose

♦End products are carbon dioxide and water

♦ Energy liberated in large quantity (38ATP) from one mole of glucose.

♦Occurs normally throughout the life.

Anaerobic Respiration

♦ Proceeds without using oxygen

♦ Incomplete breakdown of glucose

♦ End products are ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide

♦ Energy liberated in small quantity (2ATP) from one mole of glucose

♦ Occurs temporarily for short periods.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Oxygen is involved in the aerobic respiration but not in anaerobic respiration.

• Energy yielding efficiency is much higher in aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration.

• Among organisms, aerobic respiration is more common than anaerobic respiration.

• The waste products are different according to the type of terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration, whereas carbon dioxide is the main waste in aerobic respiration.

• Aerobic respiration helps to maintain the atmospheric oxygen level while anaerobic respiration aids to maintain the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and many others.
