<h3>A major advantage of aerobic respiration is the amount of energy it releases. Without oxygen, organisms can split glucose into just two molecules of pyruvate. This releases only enough energy to make two</h3><h3> ATP molecules. .</h3><h3>.. Thus, aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration.</h3>
Aerobic cell respiration is roughly 18 times more efficient than anaerobic cell respiration. Your cells require a lot of energy and are dependent on the high efficiency of aerobic respiration. Overall, aerobic respiration converts about 40% of the available energy of glucose into ATP.
