Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which type of respiration makes more ATP?

A	Aerobic respiration
B	Anaerobic respiration
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

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: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic respiration produces about 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration per glucose molecule.
