A) results in the breakdown of glucose to yield ATP and lactic acid.
B) is much less efficient than anaerobic respiration
C) can use fatty acids and amino acids to generate ATP
D) can occur much faster than anaerobic respiration
E) all of the above are true of aerobic respiration

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerobic respiration can use not only glucose but also fatty acids and amino acids to generate ATP. This process is much more efficient than anaerobic respiration, which generates lactic acid instead of ATP. While aerobic respiration can occur at a much faster rate than anaerobic respiration, it does require oxygen.
