Question
Distinguish between: Aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
✓
Answer
Aerobic respiration:
- Oxygen is required for aerobic respiration.
- Aerobic respiration takes place in nucleus as well as in cytoplasm.
- At the end of aerobic respiration $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ is formed.
- Energy is produced in large amount in aerobic respiration.
- Glucose is completely oxidized in aerobic respiration.
- 38 molecules of ATP are formed during aerobic respiration.
- Chemical reaction: $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \rightarrow 6H_2O + 6 CO_2 + 686 Kcal$
- Oxygen is not required for anaerobic respiration.
- Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the cytoplasm.
- At the end of anaerobic respiration $CO_2$ and $C_2H_5OH$ are formed.
- Energy is produced in lesser amount in anaerobic respiration.
- Glucose is incompletely oxidized in anaerobic respiration.
- 2 molecules of ATP are formed during anaerobic respiration.
- Chemical reaction: $C_6H_{12}O_6 \rightarrow 2 C_2H_5OH + 2 CO_2 + 50 Kcal$
