Differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration

In this video I will explain difference between aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.

We remember that cellular respiration it is a fundamental process of the catabolism of any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. The objective is to obtain energy through the degradation of complex compounds transforming them into simpler and low-energy compounds.

In both cases, both in aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, an electron transport chain is involved.

But, the big difference: the final electron acceptor, which will be what will make the difference between aerobic cellular respiration and anaerobic cellular respiration.

Aerobic cellular respiration: An oxygen molecule will accept those electrons and will reduce to water. Aerobic: Inorganic molecule but union. (nitrite, nitrate, sulfate ...)

We remember that being a cellular respiration they will go through three stages:

• Glucosis + Krebs Cycle + Respiratory Chain
• Cytosol and mitochondria
• Oxidative phosphorylation

In the video you will be able to understand better

the difference between aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration. In addition, if you are not sure you can continue practicing with problems of this type you can do the printable exercises with their solutions that I have left you on the web. Good luck in your studies!
