Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fermentation is a type of Anaerobic Respiration. How does the energy compare to Aerobic Respiration?
A
It is more
B
It is the same
C
It is less
D
It varies based on sunlight
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration produces a relatively lesser amount of energy as compared to aerobic respiration, as glucose is not completely broken down in the absence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -In anaerobic respiration, less energy is extracted. In this process only 02 ATP molecules are produced by each glucose molecule and the glucose molecules are partially broken down. The reaction yields less energy as compared to the aerobic respiration because the end product is alcohol and not carbon dioxide.
