Question

During aerobic respiration, more energy is produced than in anaerobic respiration.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Anaerobic respiration:

1. In organisms like yeast and bacteria, they do not require oxygen for respiration. This type of respiration is called anaerobic respiration.
2. Through anaerobic respiration, food is converted into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy.
3. In anaerobic respiration only 2 molecules of ATP.

Aerobic respiration:

1. Most organisms need oxygen for respiration and this type of respiration is called aerobic respiration.
2. In this digested food and oxygen are used and water, energy and carbon dioxide are produced.
3. In aerobic respiration 38 molecules of ATP are produced.
4. Hence during aerobic respiration, more energy is produced than anaerobic respiration.

Final answer: THe given statement is true.
