Q

Aerobic and anaerobic differences

A

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen which means it is more efficient, breaks down glucose completely, the products are CO2 and H2O and a lot of energy is released.
Anaerobic respiration requires no oxygen, breaks down glucose incompletely, products are lactic acid and ATP and little energy is released.

Aerobic is more efficient than anaerobic

Q

Aerobic equation

A

Glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water (+energy(ATP))

C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O
