What are the key differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in terms of energy production and the utilization of oxygen?

Aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration and requires oxygen to do so. Anaerobic respiration produces less energy and does not require oxygen.


What are the key differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in terms of energy production and efficiency?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy (ATP) compared to anaerobic respiration, which does not require oxygen and produces less energy. Aerobic respiration is more efficient in generating ATP per glucose molecule, while anaerobic respiration is less efficient.


The maximum efficiency of aerobic respiration is approximately?

The maximum efficiency of aerobic respiration is around 66% in terms of converting glucose into usable energy in the form of ATP. This means that about one-third of the energy in glucose is lost as waste heat during the process of cellular respiration.


What does binomial mean in science terms?

In science, binomial often refers to a classification system called binomial nomenclature, which is used to name species. This system assigns each organism a two-part Latin name comprising its genus and species. For example, humans are classified as Homo sapiens.


What is the break down of food without the use of oxygen called?

The breakdown of food without the use of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. This process generates energy in the form of ATP, but produces lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts. Anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic respiration in terms of ATP production.
