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: -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: -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-3: -This high production occurs due to the complete breakdown of glucose into CO2 and Energy (ATP). In aerobic respiration 38 ATP is produced whereas in anaerobic respiration only 2 ATP is produced with the production of an additional side product like lactic acid or ethanol.

Detailed explanation-4: -In this digested food and oxygen are used and water, energy and carbon dioxide are produced. In aerobic respiration 38 molecules of ATP are produced. Hence during aerobic respiration, more energy is produced than anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
