ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
There are two types of respiration. Which type releases the most energy?
A
aerobic respiration
B
anaerobic respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration produces almost 15 times more energy than anaerobic respiration .

Detailed explanation-2: -Advantages of Aerobic Respiration With oxygen, organisms can break down glucose all the way to carbon dioxide. This releases enough energy to produce up to 38 ATP molecules. Thus, aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration produces about 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration per glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration produces around 18 times more energy compared to anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration generates 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP using one glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic respiration produces more usable chemical energy in the form of ATPs than fermentation because aerobic respiration involves the complete oxidation of glucose and the release of carbon dioxide and water as end products.
