|
|
More water is generated during anaerobic respiration than during aerobic respiration.
|
|
|
More oxygen is generated during anaerobic respiration than during aerobic respiration.
|
|
|
Less lactic acid is generated during anaerobic respiration than during aerobic respiration.
|
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: -Which statement best compares aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Less ATP is generated during anaerobic respiration than during aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs more quickly than aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.
Detailed explanation-5: -So the correct option is ‘Because aerobic respiration yields more energy compared to anaerobic respiration’.
