No, both aerobic and anaerobic respiration involves the breakdown of (usually) glucose. However, anaerobic glucose is simply converted directly into lactic acid, while aerobic respiration gives time for glucose to be completely broken down into acetyl-coA and filtered through the Krebs cycle. Therefore, to get the same amount of energy, anaeorbic respiration has to use a lot more molecles of glucose. Other sources of energy are fats and proteins.

Nitrate reduction test what does the presence of gas indicate?
if you look up the term Denitrification The formation of gaseous nitrogen and/or oxides of nitrogen from nitrate or nitrite by certain bacteria during ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION. Denitrification only occurs in ANAEROBIC or MICROAEROPHILIC conditions when there is sufficient organic carbon to support reaction. Denitrification may be used as a treatment technology to remove nitrogen oxides from liquid waste streams.
Would nitrate reduction occur more often in the presence or absence of a molecular oxygen?
Nitrate reduction occurs in some facultative anarobes, nitrate is used as a terminal electron acceptor under (anaerobic) conditions, this carries off nitrate respiration. So in other words nitrate reduction does not happen in the precense of oxygen because then oxygen would be used instead of nitrogen as an electron acceptor.
Is adderall a nitrate?
Adderall is not a nitrate.
Is MnNO3 a nitrate?
MnNO3 does not exists, if it would have , it would have been a nitrate known as Manganese(I) nitrate
Iron nitrate formula?
anhydrous iron(III) nitrate (ferric nitrate) is Fe(NO3)3 there is a hydrate Fe(NO3)9H2O Iron(II) nitrate (ferrous nitrate) is Fe(NO3)2.
In anaerobic respiration the final electron alecrone accepter could be?
it is nitrate
What is The use of nitrate or sulfate to produce cellular energy is an example of?
anaerobic respiration
Final electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not require oxygen. It can have several final electron acceptors, such as sulfate, nitrate, sulphur or fumarate.
Three common inorganic electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration are?
My guess would be nitrate, sulfate, and CO2.
If you have isolated a bacterium that grows in a medium containing an organic substrate and nitrate in the absence of oxygen The nitrate is reduced to nitrogen gas This bacterium is?
Using anaerobic respiration
Why is the electron transport chain characterized as aerobic?
Aerobic respiration - final electron acceptor is oxygen (O) Anaerobic respiration - final electron acceptor can besulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), sulfur (S), or fumarate....
In what situation does anareobic respiration takes place?
When molecular oxygen (O2) is absent. In this condition, anaerobic organisms have to use inorganic compounds, such as nitrate or sulfate, as oxidizing agents in order to generate small quantities of energy.

Breaking down food for energy without using oxygen is?
Anaerobic cellular metabolism/respiration.Oxygen is used as the ultimate electron acceptors in the electron transport chain which produces a proton gradient for the chemiosmosis (ATP formation). Certain organisms use nitrate or sulfate instead of oxygen. Fermentation is an example of anaerobic respiration.
What organelle does the resperation occur?
Cellular respiration occurs due to mitochondria. It is done to produce ATP (high energy molecule - adenosine triphosphate) There are two types of cellular respiration: anaerobic and aerobic aerobic respiration requires the use of oxygen anaerobic uses electron acceptors other than oxygen such as sulfate or nitrate The food we eat provides energy. Our cells break down our food into ATP through mitochondria. Glycolysis(splitting sugars) that does not use oxygen is called fermentation.
Differentiate aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Hi, For this answer, i am assuming you have some high school biology knowledge (general understanding of glycolysis, kreb cycle, pyruvate oxidation etc..) Anaerobic respriation and fermentation differ in the chemical pathways. Fermentation occurs when the pyruvate (or some derivative of it) that is produced after glycolysis is reduced by NADH to usually form an organic compound (lactic acid in lactic acid fermentation and ethanol in alcoholic fermentation). It is important to note that fermentation does not have to occur in anaerobic evironments, for example yeast prefers fermentation even in the presence of oxygen (as long as sugars are available). Therefore, the defining characteristic of fermentation is that the electrons from the coenzymes (NADH from the glycolosis) are transfered back to part of the original substrate (pyruvate). Note that the electrons are donated to something which came from within the cell (pyruvate). On the other hand, anaerobic respiration is actually very similar to aerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration, you would go through glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, kreb cycle and then electron transfer chain just as you would in aerobic respiration with the difference that that the terminal electron acceptor is NOT oxgyen (nitrate, nitrite etc..). The defining characteristic here is that the terminal electron acceptor is anything by oxygen but otherwise, it is very similar to aerobic respiration. Note that the electrons are donated to something which came from outside the cell (nitrate, nitrite etc..). Therefore, fermentation goes something like glycolysis -> donating electron back to pyruvate or a derivative of pyruvate (electron acceptor from internal source); while anaerobic respiration goes something like glycolysis -> pyruvate oxidation -> kreb cycle -> electron transfer chain with terminal electron acceptor being anything but oxygen (electron acceptor from external source). Hope this made sense
