Distinguish between the following:
Aerobic respiration and Anaerobic respiration
Glycolysis and Fermentation
Glycolysis and Citric acid Cycle
Aerobic respiration and Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respirationAnaerobic respiration1.It uses oxygen for deriving energy.1.It occurs in the absence of oxygen.2.It occurs in cytoplasm2.It occurs in cytoplasm.and mitochondria.3.The end products of3.The end products of fermentation areaerobic respiration are carbonethyl alcohol and carbon−dioxide.dioxide and water4.Complete oxidation of respiratory4.Incomplete oxidation of respiratorysubstrate takes place.substrate takes place.5.36−38 ATP molecules are produced.5.Only 2 ATP molecules are produced.
Glycolysis and Fermentation
Glycolysis Fermentation1.Glycolysis occurs during aerobic and 1.Fermentation is a type of anaerobicanaerobic respiration.respiration.2.Pyruvic acid is produced as its end2.Ethanol or lactic acid is produced asproductits end product.
Glycolysis and citric acid cycle
Glycolysis Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)1.It is a linear pathway1.It is a cyclic pathway.2.It occurs in the cell cytoplasm.2.It occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.3.It occurs in both aerobic and3.It occurs in aerobic respiration.anaerobic respiration.4.One glucose molecule breaks4.It produces 6 NADH2, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATPdown to generate 2 NADH2 and 2molecules on breakdown of two acetyl−coA molecules.
