d
More ATP molecules are gained in aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration.
In aerobic respiration, glucose is fully broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce a significantly higher amount of ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration only produces a small amount of ATP in the absence of oxygen. Therefore, aerobic respiration is considered more efficient in terms of energy production.
Why is anaerobic respiration considered less efficient than aerobic respiration?
a
Less energy is required during anaerobic respiration than aerobic respiration.
b
More oxygen is required for anaerobic respiration than for aerobic respiration.
c
Less lactic acid is formed during anaerobic respiration than during aerobic respiration.
d
More ATP molecules are gained in aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration.
