Answer:

Aerobic respiration: Cellular respiration occurs by two processes i.e. aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The process by which the breakdown of carbohydrates occurs in presence of oxygen resulting in the release of energy as ATP is called aerobic respiration.

Difference

Aerobic respiration is a fixed metabolic reaction that takes place in the presence of oxygen, going on in a cell to transform chemical energy into ATPs.

Anaerobic respiration is a process of cellular respiration in which the excessive energy electron acceptor is neither oxygen nor pyruvate derivatives.

Aerobic Respiration — Takes place in the presence of oxygen.

Anaerobic Respiration –Takes place in the absence of oxygen.
