Question

What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration ? Name some organisms that use anaerobic mode of respiration.

Answer 1

The differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration are

Aerobic Respiration	Anaerobic Respiration
Oxygen is present when this form of respiration takes place.	Oxygen is absent when this form of respiration takes place.
Gases are exchanged in this form of respiration.	Gases are not exchanged in this form of respiration.
It can be found in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria.	It can be found only in the cytoplasm.
Glucose breaks down into carbon-di-oxide and water.	Glucose breaks down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy
All organisms such as mammals have this type of respiration.	Lower organisms such as bacteria and yeast use this type. In other organisms, it occurs during heavy activities

Some organisms that use anaerobic mode of nutrition are some Bacteria, Yeasts and intestinal worms like Ascaris and tapeworm.
