Is aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration more beneficial for your cells?

anaerobic respiration is definitely more beneficial for your cells because
Anaerobic respiration (anaerobiosis) refers to the oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce energy, in opposition to aerobic respiration which does use oxygen. Anaerobic respiration processes require another electron acceptor to replace oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is often used interchangeably with fermentation, especially when the glycolytic pathway is used for energy production in the cell. They are not synonymous terms, however, since certain anaerobic prokaryotes can generate all of their ATP using an electron transport system and ATP synthase. Definition of anaerobic respiration: the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen with a small amount of energy.
aerobic is the absence of air in cells which is a bad thing so anaerobic is the best for cells.

Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?
In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.
Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?
No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration
What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
What best describes where cellular respiration?
Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of body cells. Anaerobic respiration (glcolysis) occurs in the intracellular cytosol.
What waste chemical do cells produce?
Two examples of cellular respiration creating cellular waste products are aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration produces two waste products, H2O and CO2. Anaerobic respirationâ??s waste product is lactic acid.
How cells release energy is by?
respiration...either aerobic repiration or anaerobic

What type of respiration does muscle cells perform?
Aerobic respiration is the type of respiration that takes place in resting muscle tissue. This is in contrast to the anaerobic respiration that happens when muscles are exercised.
Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?
No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration
What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
Is anerobic respiration better than aerobic respiration?
Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration.
What best describes where cellular respiration?
Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of body cells. Anaerobic respiration (glcolysis) occurs in the intracellular cytosol.
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration and photosynthesis?
Aerobic Respiration takes place in eukaryotic cells, uses oxygen, and produces more ATP(Adenosine Tri-phosphate). Anaerobic Respiration occurs in Prokaryotic cells, does not use oxygen, and produces less ATP than Aerobic Respiration. Photosynthesis does not use oxygen but it does produce it. Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration both use glucose to make energy, but photosynthesis makes glucose for food. This is because it is an autotroph and makes its own food.
True OR false type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to occur?
It is TRUE that AEROBIC respiration requires oxygen to occur. It is FALSE that ANAEROBIC respiration requires oxygen to occur. It is FALSE that cells are DEPENDENT on AEROBIC respiration.
What is the site of anaerobic respiration?
In fast twitch muscles.Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
What are the 2 types of cellular respiration and what determines which pathway is used?
Aerobic and anaerobic. Determined by the availability of oxygen to the cells.
What waste chemical do cells produce?
Two examples of cellular respiration creating cellular waste products are aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration produces two waste products, H2O and CO2. Anaerobic respirationâ??s waste product is lactic acid.
