Question

In anaerobic respiration, energy produced is more as compared to aerobic respiration

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Anaerobic respiration:

• Anaerobic respiration takes place in the lack of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration mainly occurs in bacteria and many fungi.

Energy production during respiration:

• Aerobic respiration produces around 18 times more energy compared to anaerobic respiration.
• Aerobic respiration generates 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP using one glucose molecule.
• Anaerobic respiration thus produces less energy than aerobic respiration.

The given statement is false.
