Question

Which of these is a difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in humans?
(a) Aerobic respiration releases less energy than anaerobic respiration does
(b) Glucose is completely broken down in anaerobic respiration but not in aerobic
respiration
(c) Anaerobic respiration produces ethanol but aerobic respiration does not
(d) Aerobic and anaerobic respiration are interchangeable terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  Aerobic respiration releases less energy than anaerobic respiration

c) Anaerobic respiration produces ethanol but aerobic respiration does not

Answer 2

Answer:

a)  Aerobic respiration releases less energy than anaerobic respiration

c) Anaerobic respiration produces ethanol but aerobic respiration does not

Aerobic respiration:

C$C{6}H{12}O{6} + 6O{2} >> 6CO{2} + 6HO{2} + ATP$

Anaerobic respiration:

$C6H12O6 -> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose -> Lactic acid).$
