Summary. 1  Aerobic and anaerobic are adjectives used in reference to organisms, cellular respiration and physical exercises. 2  Aerobic pertains to ârequiring airâ, while anaerobic means âwithout airâ. 3  Aerobic organisms can live and grow in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic ones donât necessarily require it to survive. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the generation of energy in the form of ATP. 2  In anaerobic respiration, an inorganic acceptor such as sulfur is utilized. 3  Aerobic metabolism is 19 times more efficient than anaerobic.
Source. The source of corned beef is the brisket, which comes from the cow's breast area. The brisket usually weighs between 8 and 15 lbs. It is often cut into two parts, resulting in point and flat cuts of beef, which become corned beef after going through a salt brining process. adlifemarketing/iStock/Getty Images.
Cooking a corned beef: A quick lesson in meat science is in order. Beef brisket, from which corned beef is made, is a cut from the steer's underbelly, behind the front legs (foreshanks). The series of somewhat long, thin, grainy muscles from the working end of cattle is strong and tough. Such a cut requires long, slow cooking for the connective tissues to break down and grow tender.
