Draw a comparison of aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Difficulty: Easy

Difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration Properties Aerobic respiration anaerobic Anaerobic respiration Presence of Oxygen Yes No Number of ATP as net profit 36 O 2 Final products CO 2, H 2 O Lactic acid or Ethanol + CO 2 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 O 2 Source of many products (ethanol, cheese, etc)

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)
