Give the equations to show aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Open in App

Solution

Aerobic respiration: The type of respiration that uses oxygen for the breakdown of the food to release energy is called aerobic respiration. This reaction yields water, carbon dioxide, and energy.
C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂→6CO₂+6H₂O + Energy
Anaerobic respiration: It is the type of respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen. It yields energy along with carbon dioxide and ethanol.
C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂→2CO₂+2C₂H₅OH + Energy
