Differences:
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
1. During aerobic respiration glucose breaks down into pyruvate (3 carbon molecule) in the mitochondria
2. It takes place in the presence of oxygen
3. Energy released is large( about 36 ATP)
ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION
1. During anaerobic respiration glucose gets broken down into pyruvate in the cytoplasm.
2. It takes place in the absence of oxygen
3. Energy released is less(about 2 ATP)
Similarities:
Carbon dioxide and energy are released in both cases

The similarities are both are types of respiration and they both breakdown or synthesize glucose to give energy
