It causes a lack of oxygen, produces an acid called lactic acid that is toxic & causes cramp and it produces very little energy compared to aerobic respiration.
decrease in energy production. aka slower metabolism
An advantage of anaerobic respiration is that it does not need oxygen. A disadvantage is that only small amounts of energy are produced.
Anaerobic respiration is a process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, where glucose is broken down to produce energy. One major disadvantage of anaerobic respiration is that it is less efficient than aerobic respiration, producing less energy per glucose molecule. Additionally, anaerobic respiration can lead to the buildup of lactic acid, causing muscle fatigue and soreness.
Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen, while cellular respiration does. Anaerobic respiration produces less energy compared to cellular respiration.
cellular respiration: anaerobic:: fermentation :anaerobic
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
Anaerobic respiration is most common in microorganisms.
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen!
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and occurs in the presence of oxygen, producing more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and generates less ATP.
The equation for anaerobic respiration is: glucose ---> lactic acid + carbon dioxide + energy To know the disadvantages of anaerobic respiration it is best to compare it to aerobic respiration which involves oxygen (glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + energy) For humans to respire regularly and for long periods of time, oxygen is required. This means that anaerobic respiration through humans causes a lack of oxygen, and cannot be carried out for a very long time. Lactic acid is also produce and this is toxic and causes things such as cramp to build up. Anaerobic respiration also produces very little energy compared to aerobic respiration so is not suitable for every day respiration! Humans will mostly breathe anaerobically in situations such as sprinting in a race.
aerobic respiration uses oxygen and anaerobic doesn't; also aerobic produces more ATP or cellular energy***Apex: Oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration but not for anaerobic respiration.
