What are the two types of respiration?
What are the two types of respiration?
The two types of respiration are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.
What is aerobic respiration?
What is aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.
What is anaerobic respiration?
What is anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into energy without using oxygen, producing lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts.

Study Notes
Types of Respiration
- There are two main types of respiration: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration
Aerobic Respiration
- Occurs in the presence of oxygen (oxygen is required)
- Glucose is completely broken down to carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the form of ATP
- Takes place in the mitochondria of cells
- Produces a net gain of 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule
Anaerobic Respiration
- Occurs in the absence of oxygen (oxygen is not required)
- Glucose is broken down incompletely, resulting in the production of lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide
- Takes place in the cytoplasm of cells
- Produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule
