Question
Compared to aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration
a
produces 38 ATP molecules per reaction and generates 70% more energy.
b
does not require oxygen and produces oxygen and glucose as forms of stored energy that are utilized by the cell.
c
does not produce as much ATP and comes into action as an energy backup for aerobic organisms.
d
requires oxygen and can produce products such as lactic acid or alcohol.

The correct comparison is:
**c. does not produce as much ATP and comes into action as an energy backup for aerobic organisms.**
Anaerobic respiration does not yield as much ATP (typically 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule) compared to aerobic respiration (which produces around 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule), and it is often utilized by organisms when oxygen is scarce or as a backup energy source.
