Description

Energy from glucose

Cells can respire aerobically or anaerobically to release energy from glucose. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and produces a large amount of energy. Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen and produces less energy.

  1. a

    State which type of respiration produces significantly less energy from each glucose molecule.

    Aim for approximately 1 distinct marking point.
