Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The theoretical maximum yield of ATP for the oxidation of one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration is 38.
Detailed explanation-4: -anaerobic respiration yields 2 ATP for every molecule of glucose.
