Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration

There are key differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration:

Illustrative background for ATP ?? "content

ATP

Aerobic respiration produces much more adenosine triphosphate (ATP, which is a unit of energy) than anaerobic respiration.

Products

Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water.
Anaerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and ethanol (plants and yeast) or lactic acid (animals).

Oxygen

Oxygen is need for aerobic but not anaerobic respiration.

Glucose

Aerobic respiration fully breaks down glucose.
Anaerobic respiration only partially breaks down glucose.
