Answered using GPT-4o mini by AI Answer Generator

Question:

Which of the following is a difference between cellular respiration and anaerobic respiration?

Only anaerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide. Only anaerobic respiration produces ATP energy. Only cellular respiration breaks down carbohydrates. Only cellular respiration uses oxygen to break down carbohydrates.

Answer:

The correct difference between cellular respiration and anaerobic respiration from the options provided is:

Only cellular respiration uses oxygen to break down carbohydrates.

Cellular respiration (aerobic respiration) requires oxygen to produce ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and can produce energy through different pathways, often resulting in byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the organism.
