what is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?
A: aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic does not.
B: aerobic respiration occurs during photosynthesis, but anaerobic respiration occurs during cellular respiration
C: aerobix respiration produces atp, but anaerobic respiration does not
D: aerobic respiration occurs only in living organisms, but anaerobic respiration occurs in nonliving organisms

The correct answer is "aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic does not". Anaerobic respiration leads to fermentation due to the lack of oxygen. I hope I helped!

The correct answer is (a) aerobic respiration requires oxygen to proceed, but anaerobic does not

  • The aerobic respiration takes place only in the pressence of oxygen and the later is required to carry forward the reaction. This means the aerobic respiration takes place in a oxygen rich environment. The end product of aerobic respiration is carbon dioxide and water and the amount of energy released in the form of ATP( adenosine triphosphate)
  • Anaerobic respiration takes place in the oxygen deficient environment. This respiration takes place when the body has no or less oxygen supply. Example: decomposition, alcohol fermentation
