Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
A
Aerobic needs oxygen, Anaerobic does not
B
Aerobic does not need oxygen, Anaerobic does
C
Aerobic occurs in plants, Anaerobic occurs in animals
D
Aerobic makes 2 ATP, Anaerobic makes 32 ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic Respiration-Takes place in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic Respiration –Takes place in the absence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic: Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. (glucose + oxygen-> carbon dioxide + water). Anaerobic respiration also produces energy and uses glucose, but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is a normal part of cellular respiration. Glycolysis, which is the first step in all types of cellular respiration is anaerobic and does not require oxygen. If oxygen is present, the pathway will continue on to the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration? Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic respiration does not.
