Question

Why is anaerobic respiration considered inefficient

Answer 1

Answer:

anaerobic respiration considered inefficient because it produce very less amount of energy where as multicellur organism like humans need high amount of energy for the functioning of body

Answer 2

In anaerobic respiration yield of ATP is only 5 to 6 molecules while in aerobic respiration the yield of ATP is around 36 to 38 molecules means it is around six times more. This is the reason it is more efficient than anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration each have advantages under specific conditions. Aerobic respiration produces far more ATP, but risks exposure to oxygen toxicity. Anaerobic respiration is less energy-efficient, but allows survival in habitats which lack oxygen.
