Answer 2

Answer:

Similarity:

(i) In both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, food is broken down to release energy.

(ii) Both takes place inside cells.

(iii) Both produces by products as carbon dioxide

Differences:

Aerobic Respiration

(i) It takes place in the presence of

oxygen.

(ii) Energy is released in higher amount

(iii) Carbon dioxide and water are

produced as byproducts.

(iv) It is a slow process.

(v) Examples: Animals and plants cells.

Anaerobic Respiration

(i) It takes place in the absence of

oxygen.

(ii) Energy is released in lesser amount.

(iii) Carbon dioxide and alcohol are

produced as byproducts.

(iv) It is a fast process.

(v) Examples: Human cells, yeast,

Bacteria etc
