Question : The energy yield in termsof ATP is higher in aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration. Why is there anaerobicrespiration even in organisms thatlive in aerobic conditionlike humanbeings and angiosperms ?

Answer»

Solution :In humanbeings aerobic respiration takes placeunder normal conditions but duringhard workout more muscle power (ATP) is NEEDED and more `O_(2)` is absorbed /in takes occurs for energybaiding
In muscles, in more need of oxygen its deficitarises so muscles start forming lactic acid so requirementof ENERGY is satisfied during anaerobic respiration, similarlyanaerobicrespiration takes place in cells of yeast DUE todeficit of `O_(2)` and alcohol and `CO_(2)`are FORMED.
10859.

Question : The energyyield in terms of ATP is higher in aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration. Explain .

Answer»

Solution :`{:("Aerobic respiration ","Anaerobic respiration "),("-In aerobic respiration, there is complete OXIDATION of substratemolecules producing ATP MOLECULES." ,"-In anaerobic respiration there is incomplete oxidation of substrate molecules so the ATP produced are less in number." ),("-Aerobic respiration of GLUCOSE PRODUCES 36 ATP molecules " + H_(2) O + CO_(2) ,"-Anaerobic respiration of glucose, when OCCURS in yeastproduces 2ATP molecules + thylacohol " + CO_(2)):}`
10860.

Question : The energy yield in term of ATP is higher is aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration - Discuss.

Answer»

Solution :In aerobic RESPIRATION, oxidation of one molecule of GLUCOSE generates 36 ATP molecules. On the other hand, during anaerobic respiration , the glucose is incompletely oxidised producing only 2 ATP molecules. Thus it is CLEAR that aerobic respiration is more ATP beneficial than anaerobic RESPECTIVELY.
