RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of respiration releases more energy per gram of glucose?
A
Aerobic
B
Anaerobic
C
They both release the same amount
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Q. Aerobic respiration produces almost 15 times more energy than anaerobic respiration .

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration produces about 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration per glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, aerobic respiration generates 19 times more energy than anaerobic respiration for same amount of glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration It releases energy stored in glucose and without it, these cells would die. Aerobic respiration slowly releases lots of energy stored in glucose . It mostly occurs in tiny parts of your cells called mitochondria which are found in the cytoplasm .

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
