34. Please answer this

Dear student,

The correct option is A) aerobic

Efficiency of respiration is determined by the production of ATP molecules in the process i.e. energy produced during the process. Since during aerobic respiration, break down of 1 glucose molecule occurs to form approximately 38 ATP molecules and in anaerobic respiration 1 glucose molecule forms only 2 ATP molecules. Therefore, aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration.

Dear student,

The correct option is B) anaerobic

Anaerobic respiration is a process in which energy is released from glucose without requiring oxygen. It takes place in the cytoplasm. It coverts glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide. It is less efficient than aerobic respiration as it releases less energy than the energy released in aerobic respiration. It uses other less oxidising compounds?in place of oxygen, like nitrates and sulphates, which have low reduction potential than oxygen. Thus releasing less energy.
