Which type of respiration produces the most energy
|
|
Anaerobic
|
|
|
Aerobic
|
|
|
Both produce the same amount
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration produces about 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration per glucose molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration. The amount of energy produced by aerobic respiration may explain why aerobic organisms came to dominate life on Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -In aerobic respiration 38 molecules of ATP are released for each glucose molecule. In anaerobic respiration, just 2 molecules of ATP are released per glucose molecule. So, aerobic respiration generates 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration for same amount of glucose.
