2.34 aerobic and anaerobic respiration

1. aerobic respiration- a cell carrying out this type of respiration will break down food molecules and release energy.
2. To do this it requires enzyme system.
3. Aerobic respiration requires that the cell is provided with oxygen.
4. The cell also excretes Carbon dioxide
5. Anaerobic respiration- the cell would again have to break food molecules to release energy. However, oxygen is not required. Another aspects the differentiates this from aerobic respiration, is that the amount of energy released is considerably less.

Summary:

1. Aerobic requires oxygen whereas anaerobic doesn't. Aerobic also requires a great deal of energy compared to anaerobic.
