Question

what is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration? aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic respiration does not. aerobic respiration occurs during photosynthesis, but anaerobic respiration occurs during cellular respiration. aerobic respiration produces atp, but anaerobic respiration does not. aerobic respiration involves glycolysis, but anaerobic respiration does not.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP through a series of metabolic processes. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and also produces ATP but through different pathways. The key - defining difference is the requirement of oxygen for aerobic respiration.

Answer:

D. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic respiration does not.
