Compare /contrast anaerobic and aerobic cellular respiration

Aerobic cellular respiration is defined as the use of oxygen in oxidizing food materials to Carbon IV oxide and water in which energy in form of ATP is released . Whereas , anaerobic respiration is the oxidation of food materials in the absent of oxygen in which ATP are also realized

Similarities

Both processes occur in a living cell

Both processes produce energy stored in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP

Both processes produces carbon 1V oxide (CO2

Both processes start with Glycolysis Differences p

Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration

1 .It occur in the mitochondrial It occur in the cytosol

2 . It involves oxygen usage It does not involve oxygen

3 . It produces more ATP (36 ATP ) It produces less ATP (2 ATP

4 .Kreb cycle is one of the stages It does not involve Kreb cycle

5 .It is completed by the oxidative phosphorylation Oxidative phosphorylation I not involved in one of the stages

6 . It is very efficient . It is not very efficient

7 .The end product is carbon IV oxide , water and energy The end product is lactic acid or alcohol References
