What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Name some organisms that use the anaerobic mode of respiration.
(N/A)
Organisms that use anaerobic respiration include yeasts,certain bacteria,parasitic worms (like Ascaris),and human muscle cells during intense physical activity.
| Aerobic Respiration | Anaerobic Respiration |
|---|---|
| $1.$ Occurs in the presence of $O_2$. | $1.$ Occurs in the absence of $O_2$. |
| $2.$ Complete breakdown of glucose occurs. | $2.$ Incomplete breakdown of glucose occurs. |
| $3.$ Occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. | $3.$ Occurs only in the cytoplasm. |
| $4.$ End products are $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. | $4.$ End products are ethanol,lactic acid,or $CO_2$. |
| $5.$ Yields a large amount of energy ($36-38$ $ATP$). | $5.$ Yields a small amount of energy ($2$ $ATP$). |
