whay aerobic respiration releases more energy than anaerobic respiration?

Open in App

Solution

Energy released during respiration is determined by the production of ATP molecules in the process. Since aerobic respiration breaks down 1 glucose molecule to form approximately 38 ATP molecules and in anaerobic respiration 1 glucose molecules forms only 2 ATP molecules. Therefore, aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration.
