CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
anaerobic respiration releases a ____ amount of ATP from glucose
A
small
B
large
C
medium
D
tiny
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration results in the production of 2 ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -anaerobic respiration yields 2 ATP for every molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Advantages of Aerobic Respiration 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-4: -Glucose is not completely broken down, so less energy is released than during aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis produces only two net molecules of ATP per 1 molecule of glucose.
