The answer is the first one (A): Aerobic respiration produces more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules compared to anaerobic respiration.

Explanation for each option:

(A) Aerobic respiration produces more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules compared to anaerobic respiration.

  • This statement is correct. Aerobic respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen, produces significantly more ATP (approximately 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule) compared to anaerobic respiration, which produces only about 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

(B) Anaerobic respiration utilizes oxygen and glucose to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

  • This statement is incorrect. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. It relies on processes like fermentation to produce ATP, using glucose but not oxygen.

(C) Anaerobic respiration produces no waste products.

  • This statement is incorrect. Anaerobic respiration does produce waste products. For example, in lactic acid fermentation, lactic acid is produced as a waste product, and in alcoholic fermentation, ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced.

(D) Cells can only perform aerobic respiration to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

  • This statement is incorrect. Cells can perform both aerobic and anaerobic respiration to produce ATP, depending on the availability of oxygen.

Summary: The correct statement is (A): Aerobic respiration produces more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules compared to anaerobic respiration.
