Question

What are the differences between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?

Answer 1

$\large\bold{Answer:-}$

$\bf\underline{Aerobic\:Respiration:-}$

The respiration in which oxygen is used is called as aerobic respiration.

In this respiration, the food or glucose is completely broken down into carbon dioxide as well as water by the process of oxidation.

NOTE : Aerobic means "with air"o, that's why this respiration is called as aerobic respiration.

$\bf\underline{Anaerobic\:Respiration:-}$

The respiration which takes place without the usage of oxygen is known as anaerobic respiration.

In this respiration, mainly the microorganisms like yeast or some other bacteria break down glucose or good into ethanol and carbon dioxide and releases energy.

NOTE : Anaerobic means "without air", that's why this respiration is called as anaerobic respiration.

$\bf\underline{Differences:-}$

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen in its process but anaerobic respiration lacks the usage of oxygen in its process.

Answer 2

$\textbf{Differences !!}$

$\texttt{Aerobic Respiration}$

Frequency :- It is Most common method of respiration.

Oxygen :- It takes place in presence of oxygen.

Duration :- It goes on throughout the organism's Life.

Energy :- Energy liberated in 686 Kcal.

Site :- It is completed in cytoplasm and mitochondria.

Oxidation :- It completely oxidises the hexose to CO2 and H2O.

Texicity :- The process does not cause any harm to the plant.

$\texttt{Anaerobic Respiration}$

Frequency :- It is a rare occurance.

Oxygen :- It occurs without Oxygen.

Duration :- It occurs for shorter period.

Energy :- Energy is liberated is comparatively less, i.e., 56 Kcal.

Site :- It takes place in cytoplasm.

Oxidation :- It is a process of incomplete oxidation to give rise to CO2 and C2H5OH.

Toxicity :- It is toxic to plants.
