Best Answer

The most basic difference, and indeed, the defining difference, between aerobic and anaerobic processes is simply the use of oxygen. Depending on the process, the end result may be very similar, or entirely different, but aerobic processes mean that it uses the oxygen, while anaerobic means it doesn't.

aerobic needs ATP

ANerobic does not.

No. Glycolysis is anaerobic and do not require oxygen.


Which of cellular respiration are aerobic and which are anaerobic?

Cellular respiration is mostly aerobic.


What process produces more energy-the anaerobic pathway or the aerobic pathway?

I think the aerobic pathway produces more energy because it has a longer process than the anaerobic pathway.

Please think about what you're saying. You asked whether anaerobic repiration is aerobic or anaerobic. I believe you have the answer to your question embedded in your question.

When fermentation take place without oxygen?

no, aerobic means a process that requires oxygen. a process that doesn't require oxygen is called anaerobic.


Does glycolysis operate under aerobic or anaerobic conditions?

It isn't, it is a strictly anaerobic process. However it may occur in organisms that use oxygen in a related process.


Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules, which are used in the cell as energy. Anaerobic respiration used an electron transport chain without oxygen, produces lactic acid, and produces very little ATP and, as such, very little energy.


Is Anaerobic exercise is exercise that is with oxygen?

In aerobic exercise, the energy used comes primarily from aerobic metabolic processes which use oxygen to process the "fuel" being metabolized. This is in contrast to anaerobic exercise where the energy used comes primarily from metabolic processes that do not require separate oxygen.


ATP in eukaryotes is produced in what process?

Through cellular respiration, either aerobic or anaerobic.


With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?

No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.


What products do cellular and anaerobic respiration have in common?

Similarities: 1. Glucose is the starting substance in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. 2. In both ATP energy only evolved. 3. Chemical reactions occur in these process are enzyme catalysed reactions. 4. Glycolysis step is common in both these process. Differences: 1. Aerobic respiration is a complete oxidation process whereas anaerobioc is incomplete oxidation process. 2. Oxygen is required for aerobic respiration and is not required for anaerobic respiration. 3. Energy released in aerobic process is 38 ATP molecules and energy released is 2 ATP molecules in anaerobic process.
