Aerobic Respiration:
1. Method: It is the common method of respiration.
2. Steps: It is completed in 3 steps - glycolysis, Krebs cycle and terminal oxidation.
3. Oxygen: It requires oxygen.
Anaerobic Respiration:
1. Method: It occurs permanently only in a few organisms. In others it may occur as a temporary measure to overcome shortage of oxygen.
2. Steps: There are two steps - glycolysis and anaerobic breakdown of pyruvic acid.
3. Oxygen: Oxygen is not required.
Anaerobic Organisms: Yeast (can also perform aerobic respiration), Lactobacillus (bacterium), Ascaris (Roundworm), Taenia (Tapeworm).
