MDCAT Biology QUESTION #7751
Question 1

The production of ATP is faster in which type of respiration?

  • Anaerobic respiration✔️
  • Aerobic respiration
  • Same in both
  • Not associated with respiration
Correct Answer Explanation

Anaerobic respiration (glycolysis + fermentation) produces ATP very quickly (e.g., in sprinting) but only 2 ATP per glucose. Aerobic respiration produces ~36 ATP but takes longer.
