Aerobic respiration:

1. This process takes place in the presence of oxygen.

2. It involves complete oxidation of glucose.

3. The end products of this process are carbon dioxide and water.

4. Large amount of energy is released during this process.

5. This process takes place in the cytoplasm as well as in mitochondria of the cell.

Anaerobic respiration:

1. This process takes place in the absence of oxygen.

2. It involves incomplete oxidation of glucose.

3. The end products of this process are ethanol and carbon dioxide, or lactic acid.

4. comparatively less amount of energy is released during this process.

5. This process takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

• Anaerobic mode of respiration is used by yeasts and some bacteria.
