Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the absence of O2. When O2 is present, aerobic processes take over; so it can be said that O2 'poisons' anaerobic biochemistry.

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen!


Respiration with and without oxygen is called?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.


What molecule is used during aerobic respiration?

Cellular respiration can be aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen.


What are the types of cellular respiration's?

The types of cellular respiration are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen and produces less ATP.


Differentiate aerobic respiration from anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and occurs in the presence of oxygen, producing more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and generates less ATP.


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 distinguishes aerobic from anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and produces energy through fermentation. Aerobic respiration is more efficient, producing more ATP molecules than anaerobic respiration.


What is the difference between aerboic and anaerobic resperation?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen. Aerobic respiration yields more energy (ATP) compared to anaerobic respiration, but anaerobic respiration is less efficient and produces lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts.


What is the electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to operate (whereas anaerobic respiration does not), and oxygen is the electron acceptor.


The Difference of aerobic respiration and unaerobic respiration?

Aerobic Respiration: Respiration that requires oxygen Anaerobic Respiration: respiration that does not use oxygen aerobic respiration is continuous. anaerobic respiration has no new subsrates from photosynthesis to continue. it is usually shorter and not as efficient.


What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis?

They are both types of respiration. Aerobic uses oxygen and anaerobic does not.


With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?

No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.
