Question

Write down the difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration . Name some organisms which show anaerobic mode of respiration.

Answer 1

Differences. As we touched on, the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is whether or not oxygen is present. ... During aerobic respiration, carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are produced. During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid, ethanol, and ATP are created.

Aerobic denotes the term ‘in the presence of oxygen’ while the word anaerobic denotes the ‘absence of oxygen’. So the respiration which occurs in the presence of oxygen is called as aerobic respiration, on the other hand, respiration occurring in the absence of oxygen is known anaerobic respiration.

Ex. Anaerobic respiration occurs in human muscle cells (eukaryotes), bacteria, yeast (prokaryotes), etc.

Hope it will help you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

Aerobic: 

1. occurs in presence of oxygen.

2. CO2 and water is produced

3. lot of energy is liberated (38 ATP)

4.occurs in plants' and animals' cells

5. C6H12O6 --> CO2 + H2O + ATP ( Energy)

Anaerobic:

1. occurs in absence of oxygen

2. Lactic Acid or Alchol is produced

3. relatively small energy is liberated (2ATP)

4. occurs in many anaerobic bacteria and human muscle cells.

5. in muscles, lactic acid is produced while bacteria as Yeast produces Alcohol (Ethanol)

6. C6H12O6 --> Lactic acid / C2H5OH

organism use anaerobic mode of respiration are:- Actinomyces, Clostridium
