Question
Differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Solution
| Sr. No. | Aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration |
| 1. | It occurs in the presence of oxygen. | It occurs in the absence of oxygen. |
| 2. | Here there is a complete breakdown of glucose releasing carbon-di-oxide, water and energy. | There is a partial breakdown of glucose into ethyl alcohol and carbon-di-oxide |
| 3. | More energy is released (38 ATP). | Lesser energy is released (2 ATP). |
| 4. | Aerobic respiration consists of three steps - glycolysis, krebs cycle and terminal oxidation. | Anaerobic respiration consist of two steps - glycolysis and incomplete break down of pyruvic acid. |
| 5. | Aerobic respiration involved electron transport system. | Electron transport system is absent. |
