Thus, aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration. The amount of energy produced by aerobic respiration may explain why aerobic organisms came to dominate life on Earth. It may also explain how organisms were able to become multicellular and increase in size.
One advantage of anaerobic respiration is obvious. It lets organisms live in places where there is little or no oxygen. Such places include deep water , soil, and the digestive tracts of animals such as humans see Figure below. Another advantage of anaerobic respiration is its speed.
It produces ATP very quickly. For example, it lets your muscles get the energy they need for short bursts of intense activity see Figure below. Aerobic respiration, on the other hand, produces ATP more slowly. The muscles of these hurdlers need to use anaerobic respiration for energy. It gives them the energy they need for the short-term, intense activity of this sport.
Aerobic vs. Advantages of Aerobic Respiration A major advantage of aerobic respiration is the amount of energy it releases. Advantages of Anaerobic Respiration One advantage of anaerobic respiration is obvious. Summary Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs more quickly than aerobic respiration. Explore More Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
