Question
List the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Solution
| Aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration | |
| 1. | It is the process of breakdown of food in the presence of oxygen. | It is the process of breakdown of food in the absence of oxygen. |
| 2. | Its end products are CO2 and H2O. | End products of anaerobic respiration can be lactic acid or CO2 and alcohol. |
| 3. | It takes a longer time to release energy. | It is a fast process as compared to aerobic respiration. |
| 4. | It produces a large amount of energy. | It produces a small amount of energy as compared to aerobic respiration. |
| 5. | Examples: It occurs in most plants and animals. | Examples: Yeast, bacteria, human muscle cells, etc. respire anaerobically. |
