Comparison between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration Aerobic Respiration Occurs in almost all animal and plant

cells Involves 4 phases : Glycolysis Preparatory Reaction Citric Acid Cycle Electron Transport System Requires oxygen Complete oxidation of glucose Produces energy, carbon dioxide, water 1 mol. Glucose yields 2880 kJ / 686 kcalHigher amount of energy 1 mol. Glucose yields 36 / 38 ATPHigh yield Does not require oxygen Incomplete oxidation of glucose Produces energy, lactate in animals or ethanol and carbon dioxide in plants 1 mol. Glucose yields 210 kJ / 14.6 kcal Lower amount of energy 1 mol. Glucose yields 2 ATPLow yield Anaerobic Respiration Occurs in some fungi, bacteria and skeletal muscles Stops after phase 1 (Glycolysis)
