$19$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In aerobic respiration,one molecule of glucose is completely oxidized to produce $38$ molecules of $ATP$ (in prokaryotes) or $36$ molecules of $ATP$ (in eukaryotes). In anaerobic respiration (fermentation),one molecule of glucose produces only $2$ molecules of $ATP$. Therefore,the efficiency ratio is $38 / 2 = 19$. Thus,aerobic respiration is $19$ times more efficient than anaerobic respiration.
