Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration

Aerobic Oxygen Oxygen present Release more energy, 38 molecules of ATP,

or 2898 kilojoules Produces carbon dioxide, water and energy Glucose completely

broken down Occurs in mitochondria Anaerobic Anti oxygen Oxygen absent Release less energy,

2 molecules of ATP or 150 kilojoules in muscle cells, 210 kilojoules in yeast

Produces lactic acid and energy in muscle cells, or ethanol, carbon dioxide and

energy Glucose NOT completely broken down Occurs in cytoplasm
