Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen and breaks glucose down completely to carbon dioxide and water, releasing a large amount of energy. Anaerobic respiration takes place without oxygen, breaks glucose down only partly into alcohol and carbon dioxide in plants, and releases much less energy.
