Similarity & Differences (anaerobic and aerobic)

• Conditions:

  Aerobic -> Oxygen present

  Anaerobic -> Not enough oxygen present, e.g. during vigorous exercise, in waterlogged cells
• Substrate:

  Anaerobic + aerobic -> glucose ( or another organic molecule )
• Products:

  Aerobic -> Carbon dioxide and water

  Anaerobic -> In animals; lactic acid

  -> In plants and some fungi; ethanol and carbon dioxide
• Energy Transferred:

  Aerobic -> Lots of energy transfer - 32 ATP made.

  Anaerobic -> Much less - 2 ATP made
