Glycolysis itself anaerobic process and forms pyruvate. If there is oxygen present, pyruvate is reduced to acetyl-coenzyme A; if there is no oxygen present, pyruvate goes through fermentation, forming either lactic acid or ethanol.

Aerobic respiration creates energy than glycolysis?

Yes, aerobic respiration produces much more energy than glycolysis. Glycolysis only yields 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, while aerobic respiration produces up to 36-38 ATP molecules. This is because aerobic respiration involves the additional steps of the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, which extract more energy from glucose.


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)


Which process takes place in the presence of oxygen and produces nearly twenty times as much ATP as glycolysis alone?

Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen and produces nearly twenty times more ATP than glycolysis alone. It involves the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain to effectively extract energy from glucose.


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 definition of Aerobic Power?

The aerobic system, also known as aerobic glycolysis, powers continuous steady state exercise longer than three to four minutes. In the aerobic system energy (ATP) is produced through Pyruvic Acid and Lipid/Protein fragments entering the Kreb Cycle and the Electron Transport Cycle (McArdle, 1991).


When the body cannot get enough oxygen it makes atp via?

When the body cannot get enough oxygen, it produces ATP through a process called anaerobic glycolysis. In this process, glucose is broken down to produce ATP without the need for oxygen. However, anaerobic glycolysis is less efficient than aerobic respiration and can result in the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles.


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.


What is the forms of cellular respiration?

There are anaerobic and aerobic types of cellular respiration. Anaerobic (including glycolysis) respiration does not involve oxygen. Aerobic (including the Kreb's, or citric acid, cycle and oxidative phosphorylation) respiration requires oxygen, and generates much more energy than anaerobic respiration.


The portion of aerobic respiration that produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose is?

Cellular RespirationSource: Holt Biology by Johnson Raven* Aerobic cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration yields a net gain of 2 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule broken down. Aerobic respiration yields a variable number, but always more than ten times as many ATP molecules.


Best explains why aerobic respiration is more energy efficient than anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration produces 36 ATP from one glucose molecules. Anaerobic respiration produces only 2. Two glucose molecules are produced during glycolysis. In addition to producing ATP from ADP, glycolysis also converts NAD+ to NADH. If no oxygen is available, more energy needs to be produced from glycolysis. However, for glycolysis to occur, NAD+ must be regenerated from NADH. Thus, in a process known as anaerobic fermentation, NAD+ is regenerated from NADH. Fermentation doe snot fully oxydize glucose. After glycolysis, the glucose molecule has been converted into two molecules of pyruvate. Fermentation uses pyruvate to convert NAD+ back to NADH so it can be used for another round of glycolysis. If oxygen is present, the two pyruvate molecules from glycolysis can be fully oxydized in a process known as aerobic respiration. This process consists of the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. The process is beyond the scope of this post, but aerobic respiration basically produces more NADH and FADH2 from pyruvate and uses the NADH/FADH2 molecules to oxydize O2 to H2O. The Krebs cycle produces 2 ATP and the electron transport chain produces 32 ATP. Thus, aerobic respiration is a far more efficient means of energy production.


How much more atp does aerobic respiration produce than glycolysis?

Aerobic respiration produces about 18 times more ATP than glycolysis. Glycolysis generates 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, while aerobic respiration can yield up to 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.


What happens to pyruvate when there is no oxygen?

During anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid or ethanol via fermentation pathways to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue. This process does not produce additional ATP and is less efficient than aerobic respiration.
