Aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration |
Aerobic respiration involves the use of oxygen for the production of energy. | Anaerobic respiration does not involve the use of oxygen for the production energy. |
It results in the production of oxygen, water, and energy as by-product. | It results in lactic acid (or ethanol) and energy as by-product. |
38 ATP of energy is produced. | 2 ATP energy is produced. |
3 phases are involved glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport). | Only two phases are involved glycolysis and fermentation. |
It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria | It occurs only in the cytoplasm. |
