• In cells there is a much?greater energy yield?from respiration in?aerobic conditions?than in anaerobic conditions
• In anaerobic respiration?glucose is only partially oxidised?meaning only some of its chemical potential energy is released and transferred to ATP
  • The only ATP producing reaction that continues is glycolysis (~2 ATP)
• As there is no oxygen to act as the final electron acceptor none of the reactions within the mitochondria can take place
  • The stages that take place inside the mitochondria produce much more ATP than glycolysis alone (~36 ATP)
