Solution:
The first stages of respiration occur in the cytoplasm but most of the energy released is in the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell). During aerobic respiration 38, ATP molecules of chemical energy are produced.
During anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose is incomplete. During aerobic respiration, only two ATP molecules of chemical energy are produced, in comparison with 38 molecules in aerobic respiration.
