Why is anaerobic respiration considered less efficient than aerobic respiration?

Answer 1

anaerobic respiration is less efficient because it does not produce as much ATP(energy) as aerobic respiration does. lactice acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation only produce 2 ATP each... but aerobic respiration produces 36 ATP... all in all aerobic produces more energy with the same amount of effort as anerobic... hope this helps

Answer 2

Organisms that use oxygen as a final electron acceptor in respiration are described as aerobic, while those that do not are referred to as anaerobic. So after all the mumbo jumbo aerobic produces more ATP.

Answer 3

Because anaerobic respiration produces lesser amount of energy and it causes your muscle to fatigue. Unlike aerobic respiration which produces more energy and does NOT causes your muscle to be tired.

Answer 4

During aerobic respiration, glycolysis continues to form pyruvate which is then taken to the citric acid cycle and later the electron transport chain. The Krebs cycle makes lots of energy in the form of NADH and FADH. These two molecules enter the electron transport chain in which the elctrons from the NADH and FADH are used to make ATP. This entire process makes a net of 30-32 ATP (depending on where in the body it occurs).

The electron transport chain requires oxgyen to proceed and when it is not available the proceesses in the krebs cycle do not occur. The pyruvate created during glycolysis is converted directly to lactate with a net of 2 ATP formed.
