What produces the most energy aerobic or anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration can result in as many as 38 molecules of ATP from one molecule of glucose, compared to a net gain of 2 molecules of ATP in anaerobic respiration.


What do you call respiration that requires oxygen?

The answer to this question is very hard. If you wish to know the answer, go to google and google it. Thank you, the Answering Co.


What are the two main types of respiration?

Aerobic - in the presence of oxygen Anaerobi


. How do aerobic bacteria differ from anaerobic bacteria?

aerobic bacteria use oxygen based respiration, anaerobic bacteria use either nonoxygen based respiration (e.g. nitrogen, sulfur) or fermentation.


What is the difference in energy production between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?

Respiration is one of the imperative functions of the body that are of crucial importance for all the living organisms be it human being, or the microscopic bacteria. In general the process of respiration serves two basic purposes in living organisms, the first one being disposal of electrons generated during catabolism and the second one being production of ATP. The respiration machinery is located in cell membranes of prokaryotes whereas it is placed in the inner membranes of mitochondria for eukaryotes. Respiration requires a terminal electron acceptor. Simply put, the respiration process, which uses oxygen as its terminal electron acceptor, is called aerobic respiration and the one, which uses terminal electron acceptors other than oxygen, is called anaerobic respiration.Differences between Aerobic and Anaerobic RespirationStarting from the bio-chemical pathway used to utilize bio-molecules, to the amount of energy produced in the respiration process, there exist a lot of differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Let us discuss the two respiration processes separately with respect to the process, outcome and the chemical reactions involved in aerobic and anaerobic respiration.Aerobic RespirationAerobic respiration is the process that takes place in presence of oxygen. Aerobic respiration is the metabolic process that involves break down of fuel molecules to obtain bio-chemical energy and has oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Fuel molecules commonly used by cells in aerobic respiration are glucose, amino acids and fatty acids.. The process of obtaining energy in aerobic respiration can be represented in the following equation:Glucose + Oxygen →Energy + Carbon dioxide + WaterThe aerobic respiration is a high energy yielding process. During the process of aerobic respiration as many as 38 molecules of ATP are produced for every molecule of glucose that is utilized. Thus aerobic respiration process breaks down a single glucose molecule to yield 38 units of the energy storing ATP molecules.Anaerobic respirationThe term anaerobic means without air and hence anaerobic respiration refers to the special type of respiration, which takes place without oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is the process of oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen, which results in production of energy in the form of ATP or adenosine tri-phosphate. Anaerobic respiration is synonymous with fermentation especially when the glycolytic pathway of energy production is functional in a particular cell. The process of anaerobic respiration for production of energy can occur in either of the ways represented below:Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Ethanol + Carbon dioxide (CO2)Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Lactic acidThe process of anaerobic respiration is relatively less energy yielding as compared to the aerobic respiration process. During the alcoholic fermentation or the anaerobic respiration (represented in the first equation) two molecules of ATP (energy) are produced. for every molecule of glucose used in the reaction. Similarly for the lactate fermentation (represented in the second equation) 2 molecules of ATP are produced for every molecule of glucose used. Thus anaerobic respiration breaks down one glucose molecule to obtain two units of the energy storing ATP molecules.

What is fermentation the opposite of?

There is no opposite or reverse reaction, but fermentation is an anaerobic process, one not requiring oxygen. The aerobic equivalent would be respiration (oxidation).

How are aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration different?

aerobic respiration uses oxygen and anaerobic doesn't; also aerobic produces more ATP or cellular energy***Apex: Oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration but not for anaerobic respiration.


How many molecules of ATP are produced from the complete aerobic breakdown of one molecule of glucose?

36 molecules when using aerobic respiration, but only 2 when using anaerobic


What processes occur in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

In both, ATP is produced. In Fermentation, each turn of the cycle produces 2 ATP, and in Aerobic Cellular Respiration, each turn of the cycle produces 38 ATP. You can see which one works better...the huge difference in the number of ATP produced.


How can yeast survive in the absence of air?

There are two types of respiration, aerobic and anaerobic. Yeasts are the one's which don't need oxygen to survive.
