Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is true about aerobic cellular respiration?
A
It produces more oxygen than anaerobic respiration
B
It produces more ATP than anaerobic respiration
C
It produces less ATP than anaerobic respriation
D
It produces more latic acid than anaerobic respriation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This releases only enough energy to make two ATP molecules. 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-2: -The ATP yielded in aerobic respiration is about 38 molecules by complete oxidation of a single glucose molecule. On the other hand, anaerobic respiration produces only 2 ATP per glucose molecule. Thus, the most efficient form of respiration is aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is true of aerobic respiration compared to anaerobic respiration? ANSWER: Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as a final electron (hydrogen) acceptor, whereas anaerobic respiration uses an organic molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration because aerobic respiration yields 6 times more energy as compared to anaerobic respiration. >
