Glucose Anaerobic Respiration Produces Atp Explain Incomplete Breakdown

Front Explain why the incomplete breakdown of glucose in anaerobic respiration produces less
ATP than aerobic respiration.
Back in anaerobic respiration

 glycolysis / conversion of glucose into pyruvate ,
occurs ;

produces 2 molecules of ATP (net) ;

(only) substrate level phosphorylation (occurs) ;

oxygen not available as final electron acceptor
