Aerobic respiration
There is free oxygen present during the process.
Aerobic respiration generates CO2, water, and energy.
Glycolysis, the first stage of aerobic respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm; mitochondria, the second stage.
All higher organisms engage in the process of aerobic respiration.
During this procedure, glucose is completely oxidised.
Anaerobic respiration
The process takes place in the absence of free oxygen.
The end products of anaerobic respiration include ethyl alcohol, CO2, and a small amount of energy.
Even in anaerobic respiration, the initial step occurs in the cytoplasm and the following step in the mitochondria.
The glucose molecules undergo an incomplete breakdown during this phase.
Anaerobic respiration occurs in lower organisms like yeast, some bacterial species, and parasites like tapeworms.
