Question

which of the following statements correctly compares aerobic and anaerobic respiration? (1 point) anaerobic respiration requires less carbon dioxide than aerobic respiration. aerobic respiration produces more lactic acid per molecule of glucose than anaerobic respiration. anaerobic respiration requires more oxygen than aerobic respiration. aerobic respiration produces more atp per molecule of glucose than anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to fully break - down glucose, producing a large amount of ATP (up to 38 ATP per glucose molecule). Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces much less ATP (2 ATP per glucose molecule in fermentation). Anaerobic respiration doesn't require oxygen and doesn't produce more lactic acid per glucose than aerobic (in fact, aerobic doesn't produce lactic acid under normal conditions). Also, anaerobic respiration doesn't have a lower carbon - dioxide requirement compared to aerobic in a relevant comparison context.

Answer:

Aerobic respiration produces more ATP per molecule of glucose than anaerobic respiration.
