Anaerobic respiration produces less ATP than aerobic respiration due to its lower efficiency and absence of oxygen requirement for ATP production.
True. Anaerobic respiration produces significantly less ATP compared to aerobic respiration. While anaerobic respiration generates 2 ATP, aerobic respiration can yield up to 38 ATP per glucose molecule.
During anaerobic respiration, muscles rely on processes like lactic acid fermentation for quick bursts of energy but at a lower efficiency than aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen for sustained ATP production.
White muscle fibers use anaerobic respiration for rapid ATP production needed for short bursts of speed, whereas red muscle fibers utilize aerobic respiration for endurance with higher ATP generation but at a slower rate.
