Differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Answer»

1. Aerobic respiration: 

  • oxygen is used to break down organic CO2 and H2O 
  • Large amount of energy is liberated 
  • Occurs in higher Forms of organisms 
  • Glucose + Oxygen —+ Carbon dioxide + water + energy. 
  • C6H2O6 + O2→ 6CO2+ 6H2O+ H2O + Energy.

2. Anaerobic respiration: 

  • organic compounds are broken in the absence of oxygen, producing alcohol and CO2 
  • Small amount of energy is liberated. 
  • occurs in lower Forms of organisms. 
  • Glucose + Ethos Alcohol + Carbon dioxide + Energy 
  • C6H2O6→ 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Energy.
