Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration produces about 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration per glucose molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -With oxygen, organisms can break down glucose all the way to carbon dioxide. This releases enough energy to produce up to 38 ATP molecules. Thus, aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration produces more usable chemical energy in the form of ATPs than fermentation because aerobic respiration involves the complete oxidation of glucose and the release of carbon dioxide and water as end products.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also called aerobic metabolism, cell respiration, and oxidative metabolism.
