Question

Why do cells produce more ATP under aerobic conditions than under anaerobic conditions?

Answer 1

Due to complete oxidation of glucose in aerobic.

Explanation:

In the aerobic conditions, the glucose is completely oxidized. All energy, stored in the carbon bonds are released. The released energy is stored in energy rich ATP. In this conditions, glycolysis, Kreb Cycle and electron transport are completed.
But in an-aerobic conditions. the glucose is incompletely oxidized. Kreb Cycle and ETS are not completed in an-aerobic. So, less energy is released in the an-aerobic respiration compared to aerobic Thank.
