Answers
GPT 3.5
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, glucose, and a form of electron transport chain (such as mitochondria in eukaryotic cells).
Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration because it produces a higher yield of ATP. This is because aerobic respiration utilizes oxygen, allowing for the complete breakdown of glucose molecules and the production of up to 36 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, compared to only 2 ATP molecules produced in anaerobic respiration.
The buildup of lactic acid occurs during anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen. When there is not enough oxygen present to completely break down glucose, pyruvate is converted into lactic acid as a byproduct. This buildup of lactic acid causes muscle fatigue, soreness, and a decrease in performance due to the decrease in pH levels in the muscles.
