Question

give two reasons why it is better fro human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic respiration?

Answer 1

Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces lactic acid which causes muscle pain. It is not only better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration to avoid the pain but also because anaerobic respiration produces far less ATP or energy than aerobic respiration.

Answer 2

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Step-by-step explanation:

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
