|
3. It takes place in the cytoplasm to mitochondria. | 3. It takes place in the cytoplasm only. |
4. High amount of energy is produced, 36-38 ATP molecules. | 4. Less amount of energy is produced, only 2 ATP molecules. |
5. It shows the complete process of combustion. | 5. It shows the incomplete process of combustion. |
6. It is a long process for the production of energy. | 6. It is a fast process in comparison to aerobic respiration. |
7. Examples- Occurs in many plants and animals (eukaryotes). | 7. Examples- Occurs in human muscle cells (eukaryotes), bacteria (E. coli), yeast (prokaryotes), etc. |
