Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration are two terms in biology. Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration are two different categories of the respiration. Aerobic mean presence of oxygen and Anaerobic mean absence of oxygen. There are so many differences between Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration.
Following are the difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration.
Aerobic respiration
|
Anaerobic Respiration
|
|
Presence of oxygen
|
Aerobic respiration happen in presence of oxygen
|
Anaerobic respiration happen in absence of oxygen
|
Site of action
|
Aerobic respiration occurs in Plant and animal
|
Anaerobic respiration occurs in microorganism
|
By product
|
Water and Carbon dioxide is by product of the Aerobic respiration
|
Water and ethanol are the by product of the Anaerobic respiration
|
Energy
|
Greater amount of the energy is released during the respiration
|
Less amount of the energy is released during the respiration
|
Toxicity
|
This process is generally nontoxic
|
This process is often toxic
|
Place of occurrence
|
Aerobic respiration occurs in Cytoplasm and microchondria
|
Anaerobic respiration occurs in cytoplasm.
|
combustion
|
Aerobic respiration show complete process of combustion
|
Anaerobic respiration does not show complete combustion.
|
Stage
|
It involves Glycolysis Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain
|
It involves glycolysis and fermentation stages.
|
Function
|
Aerobic respiration is a process in which energy production which requires for the body.
|
Anaerobic respiration is required for the fermentation process.
