Answer
| Sl. No. | Aerobic Respiration | Anaerobic Respiration |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | It utilizes oxygen. | It does not utilize oxygen. |
| 2. | Food molecules (glucose) completely break down. | Food molecules (glucose) partially break down. |
| 3. | Carbon dioxide and water are formed. | Ethanol along with carbon dioxide (in plants) and lactic acid (in animals) are formed. |
| 4. | More energy is released (38 ATP molecules). | Less energy is released (2 ATP molecules). |
Chemical equations of the two kinds of respiration in plants are:
(i) Aerobic:
Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + water + Energy (38 ATP)
(ii) Anaerobic:
Glucose Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy (2 ATP)
