The energy yield in terms of ATP is higher in aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration is as given
|
Aerobic respiration |
Anaerobic respiration |
|
In aerobic respiration, there is complete oxidation of substrate molecules producing ATP molecules,. Aerobic respiration of glucose produces 36 ATP molecules + H2O + CO2 . |
In anaerobic respiration there is incomplete oxidation of substrate molecules so the ATP produced are less in number. Anaerobic respiration of glucose, when occurs in yeast, produces 2 ATP molecules+ ethy alcohol + CO2 . |
