Question

Why is anaerobic respiration energetically less efficient than aerobic respiration?

The aerobic respiration process uses a respiratory electron transport chain, while anaerobic respiration uses a molecular electron transport chain.

Anaerobes use less oxidizing substances like sulfate or nitrate during the electron transport chain so less energy is released per oxidized molecule.

Anaerobes use only oxygen during the electron transport chain, while aerobes use both oxygen and carbon dioxide which results in a more efficient process.

Anaerobes' terminal electron receptors have

Answer 1

@Carniel help?

Answer 2

What do you know about the 2?

Answer 3

larger reduction potentials than O2 meaning that more energy is released per oxidized molecule

Answer 4

that part of last answer

Answer 5

and i know it isnt the first

Answer 7

Friend said to say this so I shouldn't get credit for it. Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration does.

Answer 8

well i knew taht ahha but i dont konw which option that is

Answer 9

@Carniel

Answer 10

Lol if you know what ATP is you can get the answer :)

Answer 11

the third? @Carniel

Answer 12

Maybe you should pick it and find out ^_^

Answer 13

i really need to pass, please say if im right

Answer 14

For one I would say yea
