Okay, Colis. Let's tackle these.
2. (a) What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria, producing a large amount of ATP (energy). Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen, typically in the cytoplasm, and produces much less ATP.
b) Write the overall balanced chemical equation for aerobic respiration.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
c) Write the overall balanced chemical equation for anaerobic respiration in animals.
C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₃H₆O₃ + ATP (Lactic Acid)
