Difference between Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration

 The main difference between aerobic respiration and aerobic respiration is presence of oxygen.

Before we jump on the Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration we will understand what is the respiration.

Respiration is the cellular process which take place in living organism to generate the energy.

There are two types of the respiration occur in living organism

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

As we discussed the main difference between the Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration is the presence of the oxygen In Aerobic respiration: there is exchange of gases while in Anaerobic respiration there is no exchange of gases not involved.

Aerobic respiration	Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic mean presence of Air. The respiration take place in presence of Oxygen is known as the Aerobic respiration.	Anaerobic means absence of Air. The respiration process take place in absence of air is known as the Anaerobic respiration.
There is exchange of the gas happen in the process.	No exchange of gases occur during the Anaerobic respiration.
The process produce the energy, the carbon dioxide and water.	The process produce the carbon dioxide energy and the ethyl alcohol.
Aerobic respiration generate more energy than the anaerobic respiration. It produce 38 ATPS energy per one glucose molecule break down.	Anaerobic respiration generate less energy. It Produce 2 ATPs energy per one glucose molecule break down
Complete oxidation of glucose (Carbohydrate) is happen in the Aerobic respiration.	Incomplete oxidation of glucose (Carbohydrate) is happen in the Aerobic respiration.
Formula : Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy	Formula: Glucose = Alcohol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
Aerobic respiration take place into the mitochondria and cytoplasm.	Anaerobic respiration take place into cytoplasm only.
The aerobic respiration occurs in Plant, Animal, human.	The anaerobic respiration occur in microorganism and the muscle.
Aerobic respiration occur only inside the cell	Anaerobic respiration occur also occur inside and outside the cell.
Energy generation in human body and animal are the best example of the Aerobic respiration.	Fermentation and respiration in muscle during exercise are the best example of the anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration is nontoxic for the organism	Anaerobic respiration is toxic for the organism.

 

Similarities in Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration:

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration both are the process which produce the energy in the living organism. But the quantity of energy generation is different in both

Glucose are the common ingredient in both process due to the breakdown of the glucose molecule there is generation of energy in both respiration.
