Please explain diffrence between aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Solution:
| Aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration |
| It occurs in the presence of O2. It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. It always releases CO2 and H2O as end product. It involves production of high energy i.e 36 ATP. C6H12O6 → CO2 + H2O + ATP ( Energy) | It occurs in the absence of O2. It occurs only in the cytoplasm. End products are mostly lactic acid and alcohol It involves production of less energy only 2 ATP C6H12O6 → Lactic acid /alcohol + energy |
