Question

self assessment 14. practice: process of cellular respiration respond to the following based on your reading. question 1 explain why aerobic respiration is more efficient and producing atp, and note which stage each molecule of atp comes from.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as the final electron - acceptor. Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP, the Krebs cycle produces 2 ATP, and the electron - transport chain produces about 32 - 34 ATP. Anaerobic respiration has less efficient electron - acceptors, leading to less ATP production. In aerobic respiration, the complete oxidation of glucose occurs, extracting more energy.

Answer:

Aerobic respiration is more efficient in producing ATP because it uses oxygen as the final electron - acceptor, allowing for the complete oxidation of glucose and more energy extraction. In glycolysis, 2 ATP are produced (net). In the Krebs cycle, 2 ATP are produced. In the electron - transport chain, about 32 - 34 ATP are produced.
