Answers

Answered by priyankasaha9

Answer:

anaerobic because it can take place in the absence of oxygen

emma32: Hello there! Thank you so much for taking out the time to help out. However, unfortunately, your answer is incorrect. The correct answer would be that aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration. Thank again! I sincerely hope that I have not offended you by sharing this, I simply intended to inform you of the correct answer. Have a good day!

Answer:Anaerobic cell respiration (glycolysis + fermentation) produces 2 ATP/glucose consumed. Aerobic cell respiration (glycolysis + the Krebs cycle + respiratory electron transport) produces 36 ATP/glucose consumed. Aerobic cell respiration is roughly 18 times more efficient than anaerobic cell respiration. Your cells require a lot of energy and are dependent on the high efficiency of aerobic respiration. They quickly die if deprived of oxygen.

Overall, aerobic respiration converts about 40% of the available energy of glucose into ATP. The remaining 60% is lost as heat and helps to generate your relatively high body temperature. 40% efficiency may seem poor but it is several times more efficient than the best automobile engines.
