Question

Compare and contrast the locations of anaerobic and aerobic respiration in a typical eukaryotic cell. what are the by-products and number of atp molecules produced in each

Answer 1

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen while anaerobic respiration does not. In aerobic respiration, it occurs in most cells. It releases High amount of energy at 36-38 ATP molecules and it reacts with glucose and oxygen. It produces carbon dioxide, water and ATP. While in Anaerobic respiration, it occurs mostly on prokaryotes. It releases lower energy between 36-2 ATP molecules and it reacts with glucose and electron acceptor which is not an oxygen. It produces carbon dioxide, reduced species and ATP. The site of both respiration is in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. -ahnnahly
