Question

What are the equations for Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?

Answer 1

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen all the reaction takes place in the mitochondrial cell, Aerobic respiration needs oxygen and glucose for the production of carbon dioxide water, and energy. The chemical equation of aerobic respiration shows the chemical reaction as:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ____> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Glucose react with oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water. All in this action some enzyme take part for proceedings the reaction.

As I disscus aerobic respiration how it works anaerobic respiration is some different ,

alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation, disintigration of organic matter.

C6H12O6 + enzymes---->CO2 + CH3CH2OH

Here no energy is produced.
