Generation

# Aerobic vs Anaerobic Metabolism **Aerobic metabolism** uses oxygen to completely break down glucose into CO₂ and water, producing approximately 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. **Anaerobic metabolism** occurs without oxygen, converting glucose to lactate (in animals) or ethanol (in yeast) and producing only 2 ATP per glucose through glycolysis alone. **Key formulas:** - Aerobic: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ~38 ATP - Anaerobic (animals): C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 Lactate + 2 ATP Aerobic metabolism is far more efficient but slower, while anaerobic metabolism provides rapid energy during intense exercise or oxygen-depleted conditions.
