Draw a comparison of aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Properties Aerobic respiration anaerobic | Anaerobic respiration | |
Presence of Oxygen | Yes | No |
Number of ATP as net profit | 36 | O2 |
Final products | CO2, H2O | Lactic acid or Ethanol + CO2 |
Site of occurrence | Glycolysis in cytoplasm and Krebs cycle and electron transport chain in mitochondria | In cytoplasm
|
Importance | Major source of energy for most organisms source | Source of energy for anaerobic organisms Source of energy for aerobic organisms in short supply of O2 Source of many products (ethanol, cheese, etc) |
