The energy yield in terms of ATP is higher in aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration. Explain.

Answers (1)

In the case of aerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose happens completely, which leads to a net gain of 36 ATP molecules for one glucose molecule. While, in anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose does not happen in a complete manner, and the number of ATP molecules produced is just 2 for one molecule of glucose.
