1. Number of ATPs produced in aerobic respiration
2. Number of ATPs produced in anaerobic respiration

A) The first item is greater than the second item.
B) The first item is less than the second item.
C) The first item is equal or nearly equal to the second item.

Aerobic Respiration

A cellular process in which oxygen is used to metabolize glucose, producing ATP, the primary energy currency in cells, along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Anaerobic Respiration

The process of generating energy in cells without oxygen, typically producing lactic acid or ethanol.

ATPs

Adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that stores and transports chemical energy within cells for metabolic processes.
