Question

9. How do the quantities of ATP formed during aerobic and anaerobic respiration compare? (1 point)

Two times more ATP is formed during aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration.
Four times more ATP is formed during aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration.
Eight times more ATP is formed during aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration.
Eighteen times more ATP is formed during aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Eighteen times more ATP is formed during aerobic respiration than during anaerobic respiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

During aerobic respiration 36 ATP are formed. In contrast, in anaerobic respiration (lactic and alcoholic fermentation) only 2 ATP, obtaining energy from pyruvate during glycolysis.
