Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration.

∙ 13y agoThat depends on the situation. Normally our cells undergo aerobic respiration converting oxygen + glucose -> carbon Dioxide + energy, however if your body lacks the oxygen supply then anaerobic respiration takes place. This anaerobic respiration will convert glucose-> Carbon dioxide + Little energy + Lactic acid. Notice lactic acid is poisonous and must be removed from the body through aerobic respiration (oxygen debt). Generally Aerobic is better, however given the circumstances anaerobic can be used for a last ditch of energy before you body gives in.

What is a disadvantage of anerobic respiration?
The disadvantage is that anerobic respiration produces less energy than aerobic respiration, and as a result the organism grows at a much slower rate.
What are the two main types of respiration?
Aerobic - in the presence of oxygen Anaerobi
Why is aerobic respiration better than aerobic respiration for producing energy in your muscles?
Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration.
Why is aerobic better than aerobic respiration for producing energy in your muscles?
Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration.
Why does anaerobic respiration produce less energy than aerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration only glycolysis occurs which forms 2ATP. However, in aerobic respiration there is the Krebs cycle which is responsible for making 2 ATP and the electron transport chain which is responsible for making 30 ATP. Most textbooks say that for aerobic respiration around 36-38 ATP is made. When compared to the 2 from anaerobic it is a major difference in energy production.
What is the ATP yield for aerobic respiration anerobic respiration and glycolysis?
Glycolysis: 2 ATP per molecule of glucose Total ATP yield of aerobic respiration (including glycolysis): 36 ATP per molecule of glucose (theoretical, less in reality due to leaking of protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane)
How is fermentation diffrent than aerobic respiration?
Produces far less energy than aerobic respiration. That's the main difference.
Does aerobic respiration produce much ATP?
36-38 for aerobic respiration 2 in fermentation sooo.. yes
Does aerobic or anaerobic produce more energy?
aerobic respiration give more energy than anaerobic respiration.
What does 'anaerobic respiration is far less efficient than aerobic respiration' mean?
There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration occurs when there is oxygen present. In total, 36 ATP are produced by the end of aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs when there is no oxygen present. In total, just 4 ATP are produced by the end of anaerobic respiration. Thus, aerobic respiration is more efficient in comparison to anaerobic respiration as it yields more ATP
Aerobic respiration creates energy than glycolysis?
mass
Fermentation creates less ATP than?
