One difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that
A) anaerobic respiration utilizes the citric acid cycle, but aerobic respiration does not.
B) aerobic respiration produces more ATP than anaerobic respiration.
C) anaerobic respiration takes place inside cells, while aerobic respiration takes place in the extracellular fluid.
D) aerobic respiration does not require oxygen.
E) aerobic respiration takes place after anaerobic respiration.
Anaerobic Respiration
Breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce lactic acid and two ATPs; consists of glycolysis and the reduction of pyruvic acid to lactic acid.
Aerobic Respiration
Breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and approximately 38 ATPs; includes glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron-transport chain.
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that carries energy within cells for metabolism.
