NCERT Question 8 - Chapter 6 Class 10 - Life Processes

Aerobic Respiration

Anaerobic Respiration

1. Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen

1. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen

2. Complete oxidation of glucose takes place to form CO 2 and H 2 O

2. Incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place to form alcohol / lactic acid and  CO 2  

3. It occurs in plant and animal cells

3. It occurs in anaerobic bacteria and                             human muscle cells 

4. For each molecule of glucose, 38 molecules of ATP are generated

4. For each molecule of glucose, only 2 molecules of ATP are generated 

Eg: Humans, Birds, Plants, Animals

Eg: Yeast, Muscle cells in human tissue, Archaebacteria, E. Coli and lactic acid bacteria
