Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Anaerobic respiration makes less ATP than aerobic.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration generates 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP using one glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration thus produces less energy than aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs more quickly than aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -In aerobic conditions, pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation leading to the net production of 32 ATP molecules. In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate converts to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis. Anaerobic respiration results in the production of 2 ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -In anaerobic respiration, less energy is extracted. In this process only 02 ATP molecules are produced by each glucose molecule and the glucose molecules are partially broken down. The reaction yields less energy as compared to the aerobic respiration because the end product is alcohol and not carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration produces a relatively lesser amount of energy as compared to aerobic respiration, as glucose is not completely broken down in the absence of oxygen.
