The statement “Performed whether light is present or absent, ATP is used to create glucose” describes the second stage of photosynthesis. This process is also known as the Calvin cycle, where ATP and NADPH (produced in the light-dependent reactions) are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, regardless of whether light is present.

How does the energy flow differ between aerobic and anerobic respiration in cells?(1 point)
Responses

Anaerobic respiration requires oxygen to maximize energy production, unlike aerobic respiration.
Anaerobic respiration requires oxygen to maximize energy production, unlike aerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration generates more energy per glucose molecule than anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration generates more energy per glucose molecule than anaerobic respiration.

Anaerobic respiration generates more ATP than aerobic respiration because it happens more rapidly.
Anaerobic respiration generates more ATP than aerobic respiration because it happens more rapidly.

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration produce the same amount of energy because they both utilize glucose.

The correct response is:

Aerobic respiration generates more energy per glucose molecule than anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen, typically produces significantly more ATP (around 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose) compared to anaerobic respiration, which produces far fewer ATP (typically around 2 ATP molecules per glucose).
