Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic Respiration-Takes place in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic Respiration –Takes place in the absence of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration takes place in presence of oxygen; whereas anaerobic respiration takes place in absence of oxygen. Carbon dioxide and water are the end products of aerobic respiration, while alcohol is the end product of anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration releases more energy than anaerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration can occur both aerobically (using oxygen), or anaerobically (without oxygen). During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell.
