differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Dear Student,  Anaerobic respiration- 1.It is carried out in the absence of oxygen. 2.It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. 3.The end products can be CO2 or lactic acid or ethanol. 4.Energy released is very less i.e. 2 ATP.  5. Example: It occurs in yeast, bacteria, human muscle cells, etc. Aerobic respiration-1. It is carried out in the presence of oxygen. 2. It occurs in the mitochondria of cell. 3. The end products are CO2 and H2O. 4. Energy released is much higher i.e. 36 ATP. 5. Example: It occurs in most of the plants and animals. Regards

Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration

It occurs in the presence of O2.

It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.

It always releases CO2 and H2O as end product.

It involves production of high energy i.e 36 ATP.

C6H12O6  → CO2 + H2O + ATP ( Energy)

It occurs in the absence of O2.

It occurs only in the cytoplasm.

End products are mostly lactic acid and alcohol

It involves production of less energy only 2 ATP

C6H12O6 → Lactic acid /alcohol + energy
