The most basic difference, and indeed, the defining difference, between aerobic and anaerobic processes is simply the use of oxygen. Depending on the process, the end result may be very similar, or entirely different, but aerobic processes mean that it uses the oxygen, while anaerobic means it doesn't.

Which of cellular respiration are aerobic and which are anaerobic?

Cellular respiration is mostly aerobic.


Is the Krebs cycle an aerobic or anaerobic process?

The Krebs cycle is an aerobic process, meaning it requires oxygen to occur.


Is glycolysis a aerobic process?

No. Glycolysis is anaerobic and do not require oxygen.


Is mitosis an aerobic process?

Mitosis is a process of cell division that occurs in the nucleus and is not directly dependent on aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Mitosis can occur in both aerobic and anaerobic environments as long as the cell has the necessary nutrients and conditions to support the process.


What process produces more energy-the anaerobic pathway or the aerobic pathway?

The aerobic pathway produces more energy than the anaerobic pathway. Aerobic respiration generates a much higher yield of ATP molecules from glucose compared to anaerobic fermentation. Anaerobic metabolism is a less efficient process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen.


What metabolic process is necessary for aerobic and anaerobic respiration to take place?

Glycolysis


Does glycolysis operate under aerobic or anaerobic conditions?

It isn't, it is a strictly anaerobic process. However it may occur in organisms that use oxygen in a related process.


When fermentation take place without oxygen?

no, aerobic means a process that requires oxygen. a process that doesn't require oxygen is called anaerobic.


Is the Krebs cycle aerobic or anaerobic?

Please think about what you're saying. You asked whether anaerobic repiration is aerobic or anaerobic. I believe you have the answer to your question embedded in your question.


Did aerobic repsiration evolve before anaerobic respiration?

Anaerobic respiration likely evolved before aerobic respiration. Anaerobic pathways are considered more ancient and can be traced back to early prokaryotic organisms. Aerobic respiration evolved later as a more efficient process that became advantageous with the presence of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.


Is Anaerobic exercise is exercise that is with oxygen?

In aerobic exercise, the energy used comes primarily from aerobic metabolic processes which use oxygen to process the "fuel" being metabolized. This is in contrast to anaerobic exercise where the energy used comes primarily from metabolic processes that do not require separate oxygen.


ATP in eukaryotes is produced in what process?

Through cellular respiration, either aerobic or anaerobic.
