Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration produces 38 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose, while anaerobic respiration only produces two. With this information, we can confirm that the correct answer is option (B). Anaerobic respiration transfers less energy than aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement best compares aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Less ATP is generated during anaerobic respiration than during aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration is far more energy-efficient than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration produces around 18 times more energy compared to anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration generates 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP using one glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration thus produces less energy than aerobic respiration.
