ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which yields more energy and is ideal in animals requiring energy for life processes?
A
Aerobic Respiration
B
Alcohol Fermentation
C
Lactic Acid Fermentation
D
All of these are equally awesome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Aerobic respiration is far more energy-efficient than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxidative phosphorylation is the fourth step of cellular respiration, and produces the most of the energy in cellular respiration. Where does oxidative phosphorylation fit into cellular respiration? Glycolysis, where the simple sugar glucose is broken down, occurs in the cytosol.

Detailed explanation-4: -The stage that produces most of the ATP during cellular respiration is the electron transport system (ETS).
