Differences between Aerobic and Anaerobic System

Aerobic System

-Presence of oxygen and does
not produce lactic acid

-Action lasting longer than
2 minutes

-A lot energy is require

-Occurs in mitochondria of cells

-Produce a lot of ATP
per glucose molucules

-Develop stamina

Eg: Running, biking, walking

Anaerobic System

-Do not rely on the immediate
use of oxygen.

Alactic Phosapho-creatine
- Action lasting 0-15 sec

-Less energy is produced

-Occurs in cytoplasm of cells

-Produces less of ATP
per glucose molucoles

-Develop force

Eg: Sprinting, weight lifting

Lactic Anaerobic Glycolysis
- Action lasting 15-120 sec
