Q. What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?
Respiration is a cycle that happens inside the cells where the breakdown delivers the energy of glucose particles. The process of Respiration can be classified based on oxygen usage, namely, aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Point Of Differences | Aerobic Respiration | Anaerobic Respiration |
Usage of Oxygen | Aerobic Respiration uses oxygen. | Anaerobic Respiration doesn’t use oxygen. Instead, it uses a Respiratory transportable chain. |
Products Formed | ATP, CO2 & O2 | ATP, Reduced Species and CO2 |
Organisms | It occurs in all higher organisms such as Mammals, | This occurs in single-celled organisms such as yeast, bacteria etc. |
State of Glucose | Carbon dioxide and water form after breaking down glucose. | Ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy are released from glucose breakdown. |
Happens in which cell? | It happens in Mitochondria and Cytoplasm. | It only happens in the Cytoplasm. |
Chemical Equations of Aerobic Respiration:-
C6H12O6+ 6O2 => 6CO2 + 6H2O +38 ATP
Chemical Equations of Anaerobic Respiration:-
C6H12O6 ———–> 2CO2 + 2ATP + 2C2H5OH
The principal distinction among vigorous and anaerobic breath is the utilisation of oxygen during the time spent in cell breath. As the name proposes, high-impact breath is the method of delivering the energy expected by cells utilising oxygen. The side-effect of this interaction produces carbon dioxide alongside ATP – the energy money of the cells. Anaerobic breath is like a high-impact breath; aside from that, the cycle occurs without the presence of oxygen. Thus, the results of this interaction are lactic acids and ATP.
Contrary to prevalent thinking, people utilise the anaerobic breath to deliver energy to multicellular living beings, including people who are edgy. However, this possibly happens when the muscles don’t get sufficient oxygen because of very vigorous exercises.
