Question

Two different species of single-celled Eukaryotes conduct Cellular Respiration. The first species lives in an oxygenated environment, and produces 36 ATP with every cycle of Cellular Respiration. The second species lives in an environment with no oxygen, and produces 2 ATP with every cycle of Cellular Respiration.
Required:
What best explains this difference in ATP production?

Answer 1

Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, with most reactions taking place in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and in the mitochondria of eukaryotes.
