One of the similarities between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is that they both use glucose as the initial molecule, which is called the substrate. Moreover, both aerobic and anaerobic respiration produce Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), however, aerobic respiration produces more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Which actually means that glucose goes through dissimilar processes in anaerobic and aerobic respiration, therefore producing a different amount of ATP. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and is only done when there is an abundant supply of oxygen. On the contrary, anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen, therefore it can be used even with a small supply of oxygen, hence we can still produce some ATP, for example when doing a strenuous exercise. Additionally, the products of both reactions are not the same. Aerobic respiration produces water and carbon dioxide from the reaction. On the other hand, anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid only, that can be harmful in large amounts, that is why it has to go to the liver once it has been produced so that it will be broken down.
The appropriate answer is B. Throughfall. These nutrients are transported via the process of throughfall where rain flows from leaves to the ground. Rainforests receive high annual rainfall. The leaves are also designed to funnel water to the ground soon after a shower. Leaves are equipped with drip tips to allow water to roll of leaves easily. Any particles deposited on leaves are going to be washed to the forest floor by frequent rainfall that occurs here.
Human muscle cells also use fermentation. This occurs when muscle cells cannot get oxygen fast enough to meet their energy needs through aerobic respiration. There are two types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Both types of fermentation are described below.
