Answer

Energy Yield in Anaerobic vs. Aerobic Respiration

Anaerobic respiration releases significantly less energy per glucose molecule compared to aerobic respiration.

Key Points:

  • Anaerobic Respiration: Typically yields only about 2 ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules per glucose molecule.
  • Aerobic Respiration: Can produce approximately 30 to 32 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, depending on the efficiency of the process and the organism.
