Answer» Menu Sign up Answers SCIENCE GCSE What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? 315326 VIEWS Both aerobic and anaerobic respirationinvolve chemical reactions which take place in the cell to produce energy, which is needed for active processes. Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water). Anaerobic respiration also produces energy and USES glucose, but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen. This is useful in tissues which have a high energy demand such as in working muscles, in which there is not enough oxygen to produce all the energy needed by using aerobic respiration alone. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 -> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose -> Lactic acid) Sorry it's not in point But hope it will help u |
