what is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?

A: aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic does not.

B: aerobic respiration occurs during photosynthesis, but anaerobic respiration occurs during cellular respiration

C: aerobix respiration produces atp, but anaerobic respiration does not

D: aerobic respiration occurs only in living organisms, but anaerobic respiration occurs in nonliving organisms

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is "aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic does not". Anaerobic respiration leads to fermentation due to the lack of oxygen. I hope I helped!

The correct answer is (a) aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic does not

  • The aerobic respiration takes place only in the pressence of oxygen and the later is required to carry forward the reaction. This means the aerobic respiration takes place in a oxygen rich environment. The end product of aerobic respiration is carbon dioxide and water and the amount of energy released in the form of ATP( adenosine triphosphate)
  • Anaerobic respiration takes place in the oxygen deficient environment. This respiration takes place when the body has no or less oxygen supply. Example: decomposition, alcohol fermentation
