Answer 4

Oh srry

Answer 5

Usable energy is proportional to ATP produced per unit glucose.

As you can see from the first link, much of the ATP gained from the oxidative phosphorylation phase. Oxygen allows ATP to be produced much more efficiently than without.

Anaerobic respiration (though there are various types) bypass oxidative phosphorylation and use processes like lactic acid fermentation instead. Lactic acid fermentation produces fewer ATP per unit glucose than oxidative phosphorylation, hence the usable energy is less.

Answer 6

U GOT IT !

Answer 7

PERFECT !
