Q

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

A

Aerobic- with oxygen and slowly release more energy

Anaerobic-without oxygen and quickly releases less oxygen

34
Q

What is electron transport chain?

A

Electrons are transported from one protein to another through a membrane

Single set of chromosomes

49
Q

What are homologous chromosomes

A

Same genes, different alleles

50
Q
