Question 26 of 200
Multiple Choice
More ATPs
19.79%
Explanation:

Aerobic respiration produces more ATPs than anaerobic respiration because of the presence of oxygen. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Less ATPs
70.35%
Explanation:

During anaerobic respiration, the pyruvic acid molecules are converted either to lactic acid or ethanol with release of very small amount of energy i.e. just 2 ATPs.

Hence, this option is correct.

Equal ATPs
2.58%
Explanation:

Due to absence of oxygen, anaerobic respiration produces less ATPs than aerobic respiration. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Does not produce ATPs
7.27%
Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration produces 2 ATP molecules. Hence, this option is correct.

Explanation

During anaerobic respiration, the pyruvic acid molecules are converted either to lactic acid or ethanol with release of very small amount of energy i.e. just 2 ATPs.
