Answer:

ATP produced during aerobic cellular respiration is 38 ATP

ATP produced during anaerobic cellular respiration is 2ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

Aerobic cellular respiration is a catabolic process through which food products are broken using oxygen to produce energy. Aerobic cellular respiration has been found to be more efficient which is seen in the amount of Energy produced. examples include citric acid cycle.This type of respiration takes place in the Mitochondria.Aerobic glycolysis leads to the production of Pyruvate.

Anaerobic cellular respiration is a catabolic process throuch which food substances are broken in the absence of oxygen. This process is less efficient when compared to Aerobic cellular respiration. Example include fermentation. Anaerobic glycolysis leads to the production of lactic acid.
