Question

What do aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration have in common?

• Both begin with glycolysis.
• Both occur in mitochondria.
• Both require oxygen to proceed.
• Both end with the electron transport chain.

Answer 1

I would say both begin with glycolysis.
No matter whether aerobic or anaerobic respiration, they both generate 4ATP and consumed 2 ATP during glycolysis + NADH.

The difference is that under aerobic respiration, pyruvate can enter the mitochondrial matrix following the aerobic respiration pathway whereas, without the supply of O2, anaerobic respiration takes place and forms different products in accordance to which type of organisms they are (I.e. In plants we will have CO2 and ethanol where in human we have lactic acid)

Answer 2

Both occur in mitochondria

Step-by-step explanation:

Respiration occurs in the power house called mitochondria
