WILL FAN AND MEDAL PLEASE HELP!!! Compare and contrast aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

@confluxepic Can you help me with this please?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Give me your paragraph and I will try to improve it. @Deadroc9 @~ @confluxepic

I dont have one

aerobic respiration requires oxygen anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen aerobic respiration tends to create more ATP per glucose molecule and is thus more efficient than anaerobic. cellular respiration is an aerobic process but it has 3 stages. glycolysis is the anaerobic stage and does not require oxygen. however, the krebs cycle or the citric acid cycle and chemiosmosis requires the use of oxygen. when there is no oxygen present, the cell is able to use only glycolysis and the process in which the cell recycles the NAD+ required in glycolysis to repeat glycolysis is called fermentation, an anaerobic process. there are 2 types: alcoholic fermentation lactic fermentation alcoholic fermentation makes the byproduct: alcohol. yeast and other prokaryotic organisms tend to use this type of fermentation. lactic fermentation makes the byproduct: lactic acid, hence the reason when you run, your legs have a burning sensation because your muscles are using the process of lactic fermentation. **the lactic acid is brought to the liver and detoxified so just to summarize this all aerobic = oxygen = more efficient (more ATP) anaerobic = no oxygen = less efficient (less ATP) aerobic = cellular respiration anaerobic = fermentation

very good answer. as you can see, glycolysis is part of both aerobic and anaerobis respiration. btw: the muscle pain connection to lactic acid is actually a myth, as far as I know =) the pain comes from tiny injuries that hurt when you move. lactic acid has nothing to do with that. but very very good!

but next time, try guiding the asker to the answer instead of outright giving it to him @DizzyDaDealer
