Muscle cells can respire aerobically and anaerobically.
The Table shows the number of molecules of ATP made from one molecule of glucose in a muscle cell.
Table
| Type of respiration | Number of molecules of ATP made from one molecule of glucose |
|---|---|
| aerobic | 32 |
| anaerobic | 2 |
Complete the word equation for aerobic respiration.
glucose+..........→carbon dioxide+..........\text{glucose} + \text{..........} \rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide} + \text{..........}glucose+..........→carbon dioxide+..........
During a sprint, some muscle cells respire anaerobically.
Name the product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
Use the Table to calculate how many times more ATP is made by aerobic respiration than by anaerobic respiration.
Give one similarity between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
