What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?


AEROBIC RESPIRATION


ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION


1) Takes Place in the Presence of Oxygen.

2) Complete Breakdown of food occurs during Aerobic Respiration.

3) During Aerobic Respiration 1 molecule of Glucose gives 38 ATP(Energy) Molecules.

4) The end products are CO2 and Water.

5) Produces a Large amount of energy.
6) The chemical equation for the above process:



1) Takes Place in the absence of oxygen.

2) Partial Breakdown of Food occurs in Anaerobic Respiration.

3) During Anaerobic Respiration 1 molecule of Glucose gives 2 ATP(Energy) Molecules.

4) The end products are lactic acid(in case of animal muscles) and Ethanol and C02(In case of yeast plants).

5) Less Amount of Energy is Produced.
6) The chemical equation for above procecss:
