Aerobic & Anaerobic Respiration
PathwayAerobic respiration
ATP per glucose38
Total ATP38
Byproductscarbon dioxide + water
- Switch on oxygen and confirm the pathway is aerobic
- Turn off oxygen with the muscle pathway selected — produce lactic acid
- Turn off oxygen with the yeast pathway selected — produce ethanol and CO₂
- Reach a total ATP yield of at least 300 (aerobic, several glucose molecules)
- With 10 glucose molecules, compare anaerobic ATP to what aerobic would have given
