Also there is specifications on Yeast compared to germinating and non-germinating beans, can you please help I'm dying on this A.P. Biology paper.

Your question doesn't make sense. So I will substitute one of my own.
How is aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells more efficient than anaerobic respiration in prokaryotic cells?
The primary difference is in the terminal electron acceptor (TEA) used in the two types of respiration. In aerobic respiration the TEA is molecular oxygen; in anaerobic respiration the TEA is nitrate, sulfate, or some other ion or molecule other than molecular oxygen. Molecular oxygen has a greater reducing potential than do the TEAs for anaerobic respiration, so more energy can be released in the transfer of electrons in the electron transport system of aerobic respiration. This greater energy release produces a greater number of protons pumped across the membrane, and thus a greater pmf for aerobic respiration. The final step, chemiosmosis, therefore can produce more ATP per glucose in aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration.
