Distinguish between aerobic respiration and anaerobic Respiration​

Answer»

Aerobic Respiration :

\leadsto It is the type of respiration that occurs in the presence of MOLECULAR oxygen.

\leadsto The respiratory substrate is completely oxidised.

\leadsto Carbondioxide, water and energy are the end products.

\leadsto Energy is liberated in large quantity.

\leadsto The reactions TAKE PLACE in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.

Chemical equation of aerobic respiration:

{ \sf{C_2 H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \to 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy}}

Anaerobic Respiration :

\leadsto It is the type of respiration, that occurs in the absence of molecular oxygen.

\leadsto The respiratory substrate is only partially oxidised.

\leadsto Ethyl ALCOHOL or organic acids (acetic or lactic acid), CO, and energy are the end products.

\leadsto Energy is liberated in LESS quantity.

\leadsto The reaction take place only in the cytoplasm.

Chemical equation of anaerobic respiration :

{ \sf{C_6H_{12}O_6  \to  C_2H_5OH + CO_2 + energy}}
