The amount of ATP produced during anaerobic respiration is ___________ that produced during aerobic respiration,because the difference in the standard reduction potential between NADH and the final electron acceptor is _______________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During anaerobic respiration, the amount of ATP produced is less than that produced during aerobic respiration because the difference in the standard reduction potential between NADH and the final electron acceptor is smaller. In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is oxygen, which has a high reduction potential, whereas in anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor has a lower reduction potential, resulting in less ATP production.

The Amount of ATP Produced During Anaerobic Respiration Is ___________
