High Respiration Rate Rate Of Anaerobic Respiration As Compared To Aerobic Respiration?

Rate of anaerobic respiration as compared to aerobic respiration? - high respiration rate

Hello, I am about my AQA A2 biology course now, and it is a problem, I am perplexed. We study the respiration rate in yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Pan / baker's yeast) by measuring the production rate of carbon dioxide.

Anaerobic respiration is the incomplete breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen, the release of a very small amount of energy very quickly. Although aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration will be faster than aerobic respiration. Therefore, there are certain topics that I am pleased with the respiratory rate, confused.

"The speed of response is defined generally as the amount of product formed during a period of time. Although anaerobic respiration produces energy) (and carbon dioxide, faster, aerobic respiration produces most) part of energy (and carbon dioxide. In fact, the equations of aerobic and anaerobic respiration (), depending on the fermentation are:

Aerobic respiration:
Glucose +Oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + 36 moles of ATP
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP

Anaerobic Respiration: Fermentation:
Glucose = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + 2 moles of ATP
2C2H5OH + C6H12O6 = 2CO2 + 2ATP

As shown, the production of carbon dioxide significantly lower in anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration. But despite this, is produced faster. Therefore, the respiratory rate is higher compared to anaerobic or aerobic respiration less?

Dud i higher than anaerobic respiration.
