If an eukaryotic cell is doing anaerobic respiration how many food molecules would it need to process the same amount of energy as it would using aerobic cellular respiration?

Answer 1

If the cell is performing anaerobic respiration, this is called fermentation. Fermentation produces a net gain of two ATP molecules and uses two molecules of glucose (food). Aerobic respiration known as cellular respiration produces a net gain of 38 ATP molecules.

Answer 2

An eukaryotic cell would need more food molecules to produce the same amount of energy in anaerobic respiration compared to aerobic respiration. This is because aerobic respiration produces more ATP per molecule of glucose compared to anaerobic respiration.

Answer 3

Eukaryotes use aerobic respiration.

Not all always use aerobic respiration.They can always respire anaerobically. But not for long
