Answer:

Aerobic respiration is a set of metabolic reactions that take place in the presence of oxygen, occurring in a cell to convert chemical energy into ATPs.

Aerobic respiration takes place in all plants, animals, birds, and humans, except for some primitive prokaryotes.

In aerobic respiration, oxygen acts as an electron acceptor which helps produce ATPs more effectively and more quickly.

Anaerobic respiration is a process of cellular respiration where the high energy electron acceptor is neither oxygen nor pyruvate derivatives.

●In anaerobic respiration, the electron acceptor can be sulfate ion (SO4–) or nitrate ion (NO3–) or a variety of other molecules.

●Some archaea, called methanogens, are known to use carbon dioxide as the electron acceptor, producing methane as a by-product.

good night dear

Aerobic respiration: Breakdown of glucose energy in the presence of oxygen.

Anaerobic respiration: Breakdown of glucose to release energy in the absence of oxygen.
