ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of respiration is most efficient and creates the most ATP?
A
Aerobic
B
Anaerobic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ATP yielded in aerobic respiration is about 38 molecules by complete oxidation of a single glucose molecule. On the other hand, anaerobic respiration produces only 2 ATP per glucose molecule. Thus, the most efficient form of respiration is aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration because aerobic respiration produces 38 ATPs for one glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration produces only 2 ATPs for one glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration is much more efficient, and produces ATP much more quickly, than anaerobic respiration. This is because oxygen is an excellent electron acceptor for the chemical reactions involved in generating ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs more quickly than aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic respiration is much more efficient than anaerobic respiration. One molecule of glucose can generate up to 38 molecules of ATP if aerobic respiration is used. In contrast, only 2 molecules of ATP are generated in anaerobic respiration.
