more oxygen is generated during anaerobic respiration than during aerobic respiration
|
|
|
less lactic acid is generated during anaeobic respiration than during aerobic respiration

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration generates 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP using one glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration thus produces 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: -Summary. Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs more quickly than aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic respiration produces less ATP than aerobic respiration due to the incomplete oxidation of the original glucose molecule as a result of not enough oxygen being present.
Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.
