Hi...

Aerobic ,means you need O² or oxygen to survive.Anaerobic means you don't need O² to survive for anaerobic things like some Bactria for them O² is a poison to the them and they will die

Hope this helps

Aerobic bacteria use oxygen and glucose to make 36-38 ATP and carbon dioxide.

Anaerobic bacteria make ATP without oxygen

Hope that helps:)
