Differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and state how many ATP are produced from glucose in each process.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary.
When oxygen is readily available, cellular respiration may be aerobic. When oxygen is not present, anaerobic pathways are used. Aerobic respiration is far more efficient than anaerobic metabolism at producing ATP. As an example, the aerobic respiration of a single molecule of glucose will result in a net gain of 30 to 32 ATP. In contrast, the anaerobic metabolism of a single molecule of glucose is limited to a net gain of 2 ATP.
