We all need energy to perform our work. This energy comes from the food we eat. When this food is broken down in our cells then energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP. This breaking down of food to release energy is called respiration and with the help of this process only we can obtain energy to perform any work.
Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic respiration takes place in absence of oxygen. Energy released is more in aerobic respiration ( 38 ATP). Energy released is less in anaerobic respiration ( 2 ATP). There is partial breakdown of glucose in anaerobic respiration. There is complete breakdown of glucose in aerobic respiration.
In yeast there is anaerobic respiration. And in humans there is aerobic respiration.
