Solution

Aerobic respiration Anaerobic Respiration
Aerobic Respiration requires oxygen and takes place in cytoplasm and mitochondria. Anaerobic Respiration does not require oxygen and takes place in the cytoplasm only.
The substrate is completely oxidized. The substrate is incompletely oxidized.
End-products are $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ . End-products are Lactic acid/ethyl alcohol and $C O_{2}$ .
38 ATP(63 kcal) energy is produced. 2ATP (21 kcal) energy is produced.
Harmful substances are not formed. Harmful substance lactate/ethyl alcohol is formed.
$C_{2} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} - - > 6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + 63 k c a l$ . $C_{2} H_{12} O_{6} - - > C_{2} H_{5} O H + 2 C O_{2} + 21 k c a l$ .
