How is anaerobic respiration different from aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to produce large amounts of ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and generates much less ATP

Jupiter
What are the 3 parts of the modern cell theory?
1.All living things are composed of 1 or more cells.
2.They are the smallest units of life and contain genetic information (DNA).
3.All cells come from other cells.
What are 2 key differences between an animal cell and a plant cell?
Plant cells have a larger vacuole
Animal cells have lysosomes
They differ in shape
Plant cells have chloroplasts
Plants cells have an extra membrane (cell wall)
