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

What is the electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to operate (whereas anaerobic respiration does not), and oxygen is the electron acceptor.


Can Glycolysis operate without oxygen?

Of course,glycolisis is common to both aerobic and non aerobic respiration.Oxygen is utilized only in electron transpoqt chain


Why do you get more ATP out of aerobic respiration?

Cells produce more ATP under aerobic conditions because aerobic means that you need air and ATP needs air to operate so i made sence that cells would make more ATP under aerobic conditions.


Where does aerobic and anerobic respiration take place?

Aerobic refers to action where oxygen is able to be introduced. Anaerobic refers to a lack of oxygen. Aerobic exercise is a physical activity that allows the participant to breathe and replenish their supply of oxygen such as long distance running. Anaerobic exercise uses oxygen faster than the body is able to replenish it. The cells use any stored oxygen but have to operate without their supply being replenished for a short time. Sprinting would be an anaerobic activity.


Can cells that carry on aerobic respiration operate anaerobically if needed?

Cells can usually make up for a lack of oxygen to produce energy with anaerobic respiration. For example, when doing heavy physical exercise like lifting weights (i.e. anaerobic exercise), the amount of energy required of the muscle cells exceeds the amount the cells are able to make through aerobic respiration given the amount of oxygen they get. So they compensate by using anaerobic respiration (glycolysis and fermentation of pyruvic acid) to produce that extra ATP. However, the byproduct of this anaerobic respiration, lactic acid, accumulates in the cells and body and is toxic. It has to be processed and broken down by the liver (when it accumulates in the muscles, for example, it causes muscle aches after exercise). So most animal cells cannot survive indefinitely solely on anaerobic respiration, but can supplement their energy generation with it if necessary.
