Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs more quickly than aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic glycolysis happens faster than aerobic because less energy is produced for every molecule of glucose broken down (2ATP vs 32ATP), so more glucose must be broken down at a faster rate to meet energy demands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is a relatively fast reaction and produces 2 ATP, which is far fewer than aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration happens in the cytoplasm where glycolysis releases energy from glucose and fermentation recycles NADH back to NAD+.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration occurs with oxygen and releases more energy but more slowly. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and releases less energy but more quickly.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic respiration is 19 times more effective at releasing energy than anaerobic respiration because aerobic processes extract most of the glucose molecules’ energy in the form of ATP, while anaerobic processes leave most of the ATP-generating sources in the waste products.
