CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of respiration makes more ATP?
A
Aerobic respiration
B
Anaerobic respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration is much more efficient due to the high production of ATP. This high production occurs due to the complete breakdown of glucose into CO2 and Energy (ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -The stage of aerobic respiration that produces the greatest number of ATP molecules is the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs more quickly than aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Krebs cycle and electron transport do need oxygen to proceed, and in the presence of oxygen, these process produce much more ATP than glycolysis alone.
