b. Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration both require oxygen as a final electron acceptor.
c. Aerobic respiration is less efficient than all forms of anaerobic respiration, producing less ATP and larger end-products.
d. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as a final electron acceptor, whereas anaerobic respiration uses an organic molecule.
