Assertion (A): More energy is released (38 ATP) in the aerobic respiration as compared to anaerobic respiration during which only 2ATPs are produced by the breakdown of one molecule of glucose.
Reason (R): Complete oxidation of glucose occurs in presence of oxygen whereas glucose cannot be broken down completely in absence of oxygen. Hence, amount of energy produced varies between the two kinds of respiration.

Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Reason — A is true as in aerobic respiration, one glucose molecule releases about 36–38 ATP, while in anaerobic respiration, only about 2 ATP are produced.
R is true as in the presence of oxygen, glucose undergoes complete oxidation into carbon dioxide and water, releasing a large amount of energy. In the absence of oxygen, glucose is incompletely broken down, leading to much less energy production.
Therefore, Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A is the correct option.
