What is the 3 differencse between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration is the respiration which takes place in the presence of oxygen. | Anaerobic respiration is the respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen. |
END PRODUCTS | |
The end products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water. | The end products of anaerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and ethanol or lactic acid. |
FUNCTION | |
Aerobic respiration is the process by which your brain receives energy. Your brain and heart need aerobic respiration to keep you alive. | Anaerobic respiration helps in fermentation of yeast to produce ethyl alcohol or ethanol in beverage industry. |
STAGES | |
Aerobic respiration is carried on in two stages call glycolysis and Krebs cycle. | Anaerobic respiration is also carried on in two stages called glycolysis and fermentation. |
ENERGY | |
The amount of energy released in aerobic respiration is very high. | The amount of energy released in the anaerobic respiration is low. |
SEEN IN | |
Aerobic respiration is mainly seen in multi cellular organisms such as animals, plants, humans, etc. | Anaerobic respiration is mainly seen in unicellular organisms like bacteria, fungi, protozoa, etc |
