How does anaerobic and aerobic respiration with formation of ATP give answer with equations also

Open in App
Solution

Difference Between Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic Respiration
Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration
Oxygen is present when this form of respiration takes place. Oxygen is absent when this form of respiration takes place.
Gases are exchanged in this form of respiration. Gases are not exchanged in this form of respiration.
It can be found in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria. It can be found only in the cytoplasm.
Glucose breaks down into carbon-di-oxide and water. Glucose breaks down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy
All organisms such as mammals have this type of respiration. Lower organisms such as bacteria and yeast use this type. In other organisms, it occurs during heavy activities
Cellular respiration can be an anaerobic or aerobic respiration, depending on whether or not oxygen is present. Anaerobic respiration makes a total of 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration is much more efficient and can produce up to 38 ATP with a single molecule of glucose(2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system). Anaerobic Respiration

The first step in both anaerobic and aerobic respiration is called glycolysis. This is the process of taking one glucose (sugar) molecule and breaking it down into pyruvate and energy (2 ATP).

Cellular respiration can be an anaerobic or aerobic respiration, depending on whether or not oxygen is present. Anaerobic respiration makes a total of 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration is much more efficient and can produce up to 38 ATP with a single molecule of glucose.

Anaerobic respiration consists of two steps.
1. Glycolysis (2 ATP)
2. Fermentation
Total = 2 ATP

Aerobic respiration consists of three steps.
1. Glycolysis (2 ATP)
2. Krebs Cycle (2 ATP)
3. Electron Transport Chain (34 ATP)
Total = 38 ATP
