The energy yield in terms of ATP is higher in aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration. Explain.

o anaerobic respiration.

Efficiency is attributed to the number of ATP produced from one molecule of glucose. In Aerobic respiration produces 38 ATP molecules from a single glucose molecule while Anaerobic respiration produces only 2 ATP molecules from a single glucose molecule. Therefore, aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration as in anaerobic respiration is because of the partial breakdown of the glucose, whereas aerobic respiration involves the complete breakdown of glucose.
