Anaerobic respiration

A

Occurs in the absence of oxygen, prices lactate (in animals) or ethanol and carbon dioxide (in plants) but only a little ATP

Q

Comparison of ATP synthesis in mitochondria and chloroplasts
Mechanism

A

Mechanism
Mitochondria - uses energy carried by the electrons to pump protons across the membrane, they then flow back through stalked particles

Chloroplasts - uses electron energy to pump protons across the membrane, which then flow back through stalked particles
