What is the difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and yields ~36–38 ATP per glucose; anaerobic (fermentation) needs no oxygen and yields only ~2 ATP.
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and yields ~36–38 ATP per glucose; anaerobic (fermentation) needs no oxygen and yields only ~2 ATP. A reliable way to keep them apart is to focus on what each one is defined by, not just the similar-sounding words.
