Question
What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Name some organisms that use anaerobic mode of respiration.
✓
Answer
- Aerobic respiration.
- Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen.
- Complete breakdown of food occurs in aerobic respiration.
- The end products in aerobic respiratin are carbon dioxide and water.
- Aerobic respiration produces a considerable amount of energy.
- Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen.
- Partial break down of food occurs in anaerobic respiration.
- The end products in anaerobic respiration are ethanol and carbon dioxide (in yeast) and lactic and (in animal muscles).
- Much less energy is produced in anaerobic respiration.
- Yeast and some bacteria.
