1) Aerobic respiration uses oxygen whereas Anaerobic respiration takes place in absence of oxygen.
2) Aerobic Respiration occurs in every cell of almost all the living organisms. Anaerobic respiration occurs in yeast and some bacteria.
3) Aerobic respiration breaks down food molecules completely and produces oxygen. Anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose molecules partially and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.

In aerobic respiration complete breakdown of glucose takes place into water and carbondioxide following the steps : glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorelation and electron transport system. More amount of energy is released here. It takes place in presence of oxygen. It takes place in almost all cells of our body

In anaerobic respiration incomplete breakdown of glucose takes place into lactic acid or ethyl alcohol depending on where the respiration takes place. Glycolysis is the common step for anaerobic and aerobic respiration. Less amount of energy is released here. It takes place in absence of oxygen. It usually takes place in yeast cells and fatigued muscular cells.
