Anaerobic respiration, compared to aerobic respiration, produces?
Correct answer: B. Less ATPs
- A. More ATPs
- B. Less ATPs
- C. Equal ATPs
- D. Does not produce ATPs
Explanation
During anaerobic respiration, the pyruvic acid molecules are converted either to lactic acid or ethanol with the release of a very small amount of energy, i.e., just 2 ATPs.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
