|
|
in anaerobic respiration oxygen is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain.
|
|
|
anaerobic respiration can only produce 2 ATP.
|
|
|
anaerobic respiration is an anabolic reaction type.
|
|
|
anaerobic respiration only includes the metabolic pathway of glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration produces a relatively lesser amount of energy as compared to aerobic respiration, as glucose is not completely broken down in the absence of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Advantages of Aerobic Respiration 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-3: -So, Under aerobic conditions, the net formation of ATP until the formation of pyruvate is 2 ATP + (1 NADH = 3 ATP) = 5 ATP. However, under anaerobic conditions, the NADH is not converted to ATP; therefore, the net production of ATP is only 2 ATP.
