S No. Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration
(i) Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen.
(ii) Complete breakdown of food occurs in this Process. Partial or incomplete breakdown of food occurs in the process.
(iii) The end products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The end products may be ethyl alcohol, CO2 or lactic acid.
(iv) It produces a considerable amount of energy due to the complete oxidation of food. Much less energy is produced due to incomplete oxidation of food.

An organisms that uses the anaerobic mode of respiration are yeast some bacteria and some Parasite.
