Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
Aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration | ||
$1.$ | It occurs in the presence of $O _{2}$. | $1.$ | It occurs in the absence of $O _{2}$. |
$2.$ | It involves the exchange of gases between the organism and the outside environment. | $2.$ | Exchange of gases is absent. |
$3.$ | It occurs in cytoplasm and mitochondria. | $3.$ | It occurs only in cytoplasm. |
$4.$ | It always releases $CO _{2}$ and $H _{2} O$. | $4.$ | End products vary. |
$5.$ | It yields $36$ $ATPs$. | $5.$ | It yields only $2$ $ATPs$. |
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the roots of some waterlogged plants, some parasitic worms, animal muscles, and some micro-organisms such as yeasts.
