The energy yield in terms of ATP is higher in aerobic respiration

Question: The energy yield in terms of ATP is higher in aerobic respiration than anaerobic respiration. Why anaerobic respiration occurs even in organisms that live in aerobic condition like human beings and angiosperms? Solution: Anaerobic respiration occurs in organisms that live in aerobic condition like human beings when there is intensive exercise or stress on a muscle. In angiosperms, the germination of seeds leads to anaerobic respiration for releasing the energy for the seedling to emerg...

Energy is released during the oxidation of compounds

Question: Energy is released during the oxidation of compounds in respiration. How is this energy stored and released as and when it is needed? Solution: The energy which gets released during the oxidation of compounds in respiration is stored as Adenosine Triphosphate i.e., ATP. The ATP is stored in the form of chemical bonds. ADP + IP + energy ATP (ADP = Adenosine Diphosphate and IP = Inorganic phosphorous) When energy is required then, this bond energy is broken and utilised ATP ADP + IP + en...
